They say that family is a gift that lasts a lifetime.

At Genesis, that’s our main motivator. When you work with us, you join our family while we help you build your own. We stay by your side through the entire process. We’re there for each moment of laughter, tears, and joy. We have years of experience and expertise, and we’re able to anticipate potential obstacles and seamlessly guide you into parenthood. We are your advocate, and we’ll work diligently and enthusiastically to ensure your every need is met, starting at your initial consultation and going beyond your baby’s birth.

Genesis Expertise

We specialize in finding high-caliber Donors. If you cannot find a Donor in our database that meets your specific needs, we’ll do everything possible to find the right match for you. The Genesis Group has a marketing team that goes the extra mile to meet your specific requests. This includes placing outside advertisements and marketing campaigns at no additional cost to you. We’re in this together!

Each Intended Parent is assigned to a Case Manager. Your Case Manager coordinates the specifics behind the egg donation, sperm donation and surrogacy process while keeping you well-informed along the way. They will orchestrate the medical, psychological, and genetic screenings for your Sperm Donor, Egg Donor and/or Surrogate, as well as manage their travel, legal coordination, and more. Our goal is to support you on your journey into parenthood, so your Case Manager is here to assist you in any way possible.

Join our family as we help build yours

We take pride in getting to know every single Donor and Surrogate in our program. The Donors and Surrogates in our program go through an extensive pre-screening process. Donors undergo basic genetic, psychological, and aptitude screenings, and Surrogates undergo psychological and criminal screenings. Each Donor and Surrogate is fully educated about the egg donation, sperm donation and surrogacy process, and they each sign an understanding and terms agreement.

We hold ourselves to the highest industry standards.

Egg donation, sperm donation and surrogacy are relatively new advances in medical technology. Consequently, we use the rules that govern the American Society of Reproductive Medicine as fundamental parameters to follow, and we also follow the standards set forth by SEEDS, the Society for Ethics in Egg Donation and Surrogacy. We believe in ethical and transparent egg donation and surrogacy journeys.

Intended Parent & Donor Timeline

1. Application & Introduction

The first step is to get access to our online database and fill out a profile telling us a bit about yourselves and what you are looking for in a donor.

2. Choosing A Donor

Once you have found a donor that you like, we will confirm they are available to travel to your clinic, have any previous records approved by your doctor, and make sure all of your questions are answered.

3. Matching with Your Donor

You will sign a Retainer Contract, Estimated Cost Sheet, and send in your agency fee, as well as set up your escrow account so that we can send the official match sheet to your nurse.

4. Medical Screening

Your donor will have a psychological screening, genetic screening, and medical screening with your clinic and it will take about three weeks to get all of those results back.

5. Legal Agreement

Once your donor has been medically cleared, the attorneys will work with both parties to get a legal agreement in place.

6. Appointments & Retrieval

After legal, the next steps depend on your donor. Your nurse will either put together a calendar for the egg donor's cycle that includes the appointments, medication start date, and estimated retrieval date, or we will develop a timeline for your sperm donor's retrievals.

Genesis Egg Donation Options

Standard Egg Donation

Standard egg donation allows you to get as many eggs as possible from one retrieval. If you are looking to have more than one child, we highly recommend a standard egg donation cycle.
Pro: You receive all of the eggs from the cycle.
Con: You are 100% responsible for the cycle cost.
Shared Cycle Egg Donation

Shared Egg Donation is a cost-effective way to cycle an egg donor. Intended Parent(s) are matched with another Intended Parent(s) to reduce the cost of an Egg Donation cycle. All Intended Parent(s) will share incurred expenses. The Intended Parent(s) will mutually pick a Donor. Then The Genesis Group will synchronize their cycle so both parties can potentially have a fresh transfer and equally split the egg yield.
Pro: Cost Effective
Con: You only receive 50% of the egg yield
Frozen Egg Bank

Frozen egg bank guarantees that you will have viable mature eggs. This process saves you much needed time. You will typically save three months on average. You will also not run the risk of finding out your donor has empty follicle syndrome because the eggs have already been harvested. We have the eggs available now to be shipped to clinics within the U.S.
Pro: You save time and reimburse agency for mature eggs only
Con: You only get a limited amount of eggs.

Intended Parent & Surrogate Timeline

1. Application & Interview

We will schedule an extensive consultation to discuss the surrogacy process with the Intended Parent, after which they will need to complete a profile application prior to meeting with a Surrogate.

2. Match Meeting

Once mutually interested, we will facilitate an in-person or online meeting between the Intended Parents and Surrogate to determine compatibility.

3. Official Match

If both parties wish to move forward after the meeting, the Intended Parent submits their signed retainer documents and fee to secure their match.

4. Establishment of Third Party Escrow

Once matched, the Intended Parent will need to establish and fund a third-party escrow to cover their surrogate expenses.

5. Medical Screening

The Surrogate and her partner (if applicable) will undergo a medical screening appointment at the Intended Parents’ IVF clinic to determine if the Surrogate has any issues that would preclude her from being a Surrogate.

5. Legal Clearance

Once the Surrogate has been medically cleared to proceed with the surrogacy, the drafting and execution of the legal contract between the Intended Parents and Surrogate will begin.

8. IVF Transfer

When the legal contract has been finalized, the Surrogate will begin her cycle medications in preparation for the IVF transfer, which will take place according to her cycle calendar and receptiveness to the medications.

9. Pregnancy Test

Ten days post-transfer, the Surrogate will test to confirm pregnancy.

“ I can’t believe the twins are here! Thank you for helping to find the right donor for us. Working with a compassionate agency made a world of a difference. I wish we worked with you initially.”

— Patty and George, Genesis Parents

There are two ways to gain access to our database. You can complete a quick questionnaire online, and a Genesis Group representative will contact you shortly to activate your account so you can view our Donors. The second option is to call our office directly. A Genesis Group representative will be happy to help you fill out the questionnaire and provide you with a name and password to log in.
This means that a Donor is currently in the process of being matched with another client. If you would like to be placed on the Donor’s “waiting list” please speak with your Case Manager. Your Case Manager will contact you if the match does not materialize. Another possibility is that this Donor has placed her profile on hold because she is temporarily unavailable to commit to a cycle but plans to in the near future.
If an Egg Donor is available, you can place her on a temporary hold for five (5) business days at no cost to you while you decide if she is the Donor you want to work with. A Surrogate can also be placed on a 3-day courtesy hold if she has approved your profile. She will also be placed on a 3-day hold following your meeting to decide whether you want to secure the match.
We have a special marketing team that will place advertisements for you and will search for your Egg Donor / Surrogate at no additional cost to you.
We highly recommend working with an attorney. The laws in the fertility industry are not settled, and it is not a good idea to move forward without proper representation. Our Egg Donors and Surrogates are REQUIRED to have an attorney in every cycle.
