What Should I Write in My Embryo Donation Essay?

Writing Your Embryo Donation Profile Essay: What to Include

The essay is often the hardest part of the profile, but it does not need to be. Here is how to approach it so it feels honest and true to you.

• Keep it to a couple of paragraphs up to about a page and a half, and no more than two pages.

• Write about who you are, what makes you happy, and what has brought you joy.

• If you are an intended parent, share why you want to be a parent.

• You can talk about your fertility journey, but keep it a smaller part of the story.

• Above all, be authentic. Sharing the real you is what builds a genuine connection.
