Compensation and Qualifications

For example, whereas a surrogate mother must have given birth successfully to at least one child, an egg donor does not need to have had a child before in order to donate.

In addition, factors such as the egg donor's physical appearance and IQ score may play a big part in an intended parent's decision.

Egg donors for hire are compensated for their efforts and time. Payment varies depending on many factors, such as IQ and experience.
