Non-Anonymous Egg Donors

Portugal is an excellent choice if you’re seeking a non-anonymous egg donor. At Eugin Coimbra, you can select eggs from a donor whose identity is not kept confidential. This ensures that your child, born through this treatment, will have the right to access the donor’s identifying information when they turn 18. The egg donors at Eugin Coimbra are fully aware of the legal requirements and are emotionally prepared for the possibility of future contact.

The clinic offers a wide variety of egg donors to accommodate the unique preferences of their patients. Their donor pool includes individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds, allowing you to find the best match for your family. Available donors include Caucasian (White), Hispanic (Latino), Scandinavian, African (Black), Asian, Indian, and Arab.

In Portugal, matching donors with patients is a clinical decision made by the medical team.
