Asian Egg Donors: How to Find the Perfect Match for Your Family

The use of donor eggs is increasing globally, thanks to medical advances that have made the process safer and more successful. For many families, using donor eggs can give them the best chances of a healthy pregnancy.

Studies show that Asian American patients have greater difficulty conceiving, wait longer to seek infertility treatment, and have decreased treatment success rates. Asian families represent a disproportionately high proportion of IVF patients. However, cultural and societal factors often limit the supply of Asian egg donors, creating a challenge for intended parents.

At Cofertility, we’ve addressed this gap by attracting a diverse and highly accomplished group of Asian egg donors. we have helped many Asian families find egg donors to expand their family. In fact, while other agencies struggle to recruit Asian egg donors, we have dozens of Asian egg donors ready to be matched at any time.

Why are Asian egg donors in high demand?

The use of donor eggs is increasing globally, as medical advances have improved to enable egg donation to be a safe, successful procedure. Using donor eggs can increase your chances of a successful, healthy pregnancy. And because Asians represent a higher proportion of IVF patients than any other group, Asian egg donors are in high demand.

However, due to cultural and societal factors, the supply of Asian egg donors is low. This limited supply, combined with the high demand, makes it difficult for some intended parents to find an Asian egg donor. 

At Cofertility, our unique model has helped us attract a more diverse set of donors… and a highly educated group – the vast majority of our donors have a graduate degree. Our donors aren’t doing it for the money. At Cofertility, our donors freeze their eggs for free in exchange for donating half of the eggs to your family. This saves families tens of thousands of dollars on donor compensation. 

How to find an Asian egg donor

We have hundreds of kind, smart egg donors that have been pre-qualified and are ready to match with your family. So how do you get started?

  1. Create a free account. Fill out our form to share about your family and what you’re looking for in a donor. It just takes a few minutes.
  2. Find your match. Learn about our pre-qualified donors — their values, personalities, and more. Once you’ve found the right match, we’ll make it official with your doctor’s approval. 
  3. Get support for life. After you bring home your baby, continue to enjoy our resources — educational materials, support systems, and more — for life.

It’s important to know that our model is different. We empower women to take control of their own reproductive health while giving you the gift of a lifetime. Our donors aren’t doing it for cash – they keep half the eggs retrieved for their own future use, and donate half to your family. Because of this, we have been able to recruit and match truly amazing egg donors. 

Where are Cofertility egg donors from?

Most of our Asian egg donors are from the United States, but of Asian descent. When you log into your account, in their donor profiles, you can see both their mother’s heritage and the father’s heritage. Our donor’s heritages include:

  • East Asia: China, Japan, Korea
  • Southeast Asia: Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia
  • South Asia: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka

It’s free to create an account and browse donor profiles.

We work with many egg donors with East Asian heritage. Donors with East Asian ancestry (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese) often feel a strong cultural connection to their heritage and family, and may choose to donate their eggs to help others who share their cultural background.

Egg donors with Chinese heritage have Chinese ancestry and choose to donate their eggs to help other families. The Chinese-American community is one of the largest ethnic groups in the United States, and many choose to donate their eggs through Cofertility as a way to give back and help others who share their cultural background. Egg donation among Chinese-Americans is not uncommon, and we work with many Chinese-American egg donors and recipients  The kindness and generosity of egg donors with Chinese heritage can make a significant impact in helping others achieve their dreams of starting a family, and can also help to strengthen the bonds within the Chinese-American community.

Vietnamese-Americans, or individuals with Vietnamese heritage, often have a strong cultural connection to their heritage and family, and choose to donate their eggs as a way to give back to their community or help others who share their cultural background. Egg donation among Vietnamese-Americans is not as common as it is in other communities, but we work specifically work with Vietnamese-American donors and recipients to help match them with compatible donors. Our donors undergo rigorous medical and psychological evaluations to ensure that they are healthy and capable of safely donating their eggs.

Indian egg donors

The Indian-American community is one of the fastest-growing ethnic groups in the United States, and egg donation among Indian-Americans is becoming more common. Egg donors with Indian heritage often have a strong cultural connection to their heritage and family, and may choose to donate their eggs as a way to give back to their community or help others who share their cultural background. The generosity and compassion egg donors can make a significant impact in helping others achieve their dreams of starting a family, and can also help to strengthen the bonds within the Indian-American community.

How much does it cost to match with an Asian egg donor?

We know IVF and egg donation are big expenses for families, and we want to help you financially plan for your donation journey. During a fresh egg donation journey with Cofertility, you will pay a Match Initiation Fee, coordination fee, third-party expenses plus any cycle expenses from your clinic associated with the donor's medical protocol, medications, and egg retrieval. If your donor needs to travel for any part of this, you will be responsible for covering those costs.

In a frozen egg donation journey with Cofertility, pricing is based on a per-egg pricing model and the total cost of each match in turn varies based on the number of frozen eggs available. The match cost is inclusive of all expenses associated with the coordination of the cycle and with the donor’s screening, retrieval, and medications. It’s the all-in cost of getting frozen eggs.

All of our pricing also includes our Baby Guarantee, our promise that if for any reason outside your control your initial match does not lead to a live birth, we’ll re-match you for free until that happens.
