FFP 196 | Egg Donation | Infertility | The World Egg Bank | Diana Thomas - a podcast by Lisa | Fertility Friday

from 2018-04-20T04:00

:: ::

Diana is the Founder and CEO of The World Egg Bank. After successfully becoming pregnant, fertility specialists began approaching Diana asking for her help in finding egg donors for their own patients. She quickly discovered that there was a desperate need for a company that understood empowering recipients with information about egg donors, and the emotional sensitivity to navigate through the process of involving another person in their reproduction life. Through her own personal experience, she created a company that catered to the personal needs of intended parents as well as brought the best quality of care to the egg donors. For over 20 years, Diana’s egg donor agency has matched thousands of donors and couples nationwide and internationally.

In today’s episode, Diana shares her experience with infertility, and why it drove her to create The World Egg Bank to support women and families experiencing fertility challenges.
