June is Pride Month, a month dedicated to increasing the self-affirmation, equality, and visibility of LGBT+ people. During this month it is also important to raise awareness about the struggles that LGBT+ couples go through in order to create a family of their own. Despite the increasingly widespread acceptance of LGBT+ couples, family building is not always as simple as it can be for their heterosexual counterparts. This issue is something that The World Egg Bank is actively working to remediate, and you might be able to help.
LGBT+ couples have few options when it comes to building their family. The two most common would be adoption and egg/sperm donors. Each couple has different wants and needs so not every option will work for every couple. For example, many couples dream of having a child genetically related to them. For LGBT+ couples this means they must turn to an egg or sperm donor, and in some cases a surrogate too. The World Egg Bank is proud to be able to bridge the gap between LGBT+ couples and their future family, with the assistance of egg donors.
Egg donors have the power to change lives. From people struggling with infertility, to people of the LGBT+ community, to people with hereditary disorders, egg donors are the missing puzzle piece for so many. Becoming an egg donor does not only change the lives of the intended parents, but also your own. Egg donors are compensated for their time and given the opportunity to learn about their own fertility. Out-of-state donors even get an all-expenses-paid trip to Arizona for retrieval. If you are interested in helping a deserving family, of any kind, make their dreams come true, apply to become a donor today at theworldeggandspermbank.com.
