At Donor Concierge we have helped hundreds of intended parents find the match they were hoping for.  Below are just a few of the thank you notes we have received over the years, along with endorsements from some of our professional colleagues in the fertility field.

Finding Gail was a great relief. It was clear that since we were looking for a donor of a very specific ethnicity, we would have a challenging search. There are hundreds of agencies, and we really didn’t have the expertise to search all of them and to ferret out the very best donors. We thought it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Gail took our requirements and was able to find us a stack of good choices that she took the time to rank based on our criteria. We feel like we know that we’re not missing any great donors now and that we can make our decisions without any second-guessing of our choice.

Hi Gail,

We owe you a huge thank-you for your service in screening the daunting number of egg donation agencies and candidates, and providing us with a manageable number of candidates suited to our particular profile. It became clear to me after talking with you that with the knowledge you gained about us during our interview with you—combined with your own journey into motherhood, your training as a counseling psychologist, and your long experience in different areas of the ART field—you would be an invaluable guide for us. I was impressed that you provided us with an outstanding set of candidates within a week of hiring you. We found five candidates that we liked of the 18 or so that you selected as potential matches. The hard part was discerning the best choices for us of the top five.

I was gratified that once we chose our donor, you made me feel welcome to call you from time to time. I had not really anticipated the worry and anxiety that would hit at various points along the way and found it very reassuring to be welcomed by you to write or call as I needed to. I appreciated your understanding of the emotional part of this journey and sharing a few laughs over my moments of being like a cat chasing my own tail.

Thank you for your fine service, Gail. I will wholeheartedly recommend you if the opportunity arises.

Dear Gail,

Almost two years ago I contacted you to help us locate a donor. I was hesitant to even consider using a donor and, of course, very sad that in our fertility journey, we were at this junction. Over the course of eight years, we had experienced 14 IUIs, eight IVF egg retrievals and transfers, and four miscarriages.

You helped us locate a donor, and now we are the glowing parents of an amazing eight-month-old daughter. I wanted to share with you something I’ve learned from our Topsy Turvy tomato plant hanger and our daughter.

When our miracle baby was born, it was amazing how much she looked like me. In fact, my mother dragged out my baby book and compared pictures of how much we looked alike. She even had the same birthmark on the back of her head and mole on her rear end that I have.

We love garden-fresh tomatoes. Sadly, our Topsy Turvy tomatoes tasted terrible compared to my mother-in-law’s tomatoes. What I learned is that it really doesn’t matter where the tomato seed came from. The secret ingredient was the soil that grew the tomatoes.

I can with 200% certainty tell anyone hesitant about using a donor that once your baby is born, because it has grown in your body, that baby is all yours. We are so grateful for our miracle baby, and I regularly say prayers and offer thanks to our donor. I will probably never meet our donor, but I will forever be eternally grateful for her gift to us. She gave us the seed to grow our daughter, but it was my soil that grew her. She’s our daughter in every way. Thanks so much for helping us find our special seed.

Heather

I thank you for your assistance in this matter. As you know, I have selected the first donor that you sent me to look at. She has a different body type than me, and is significantly taller, but I realize that I cannot find a “mini me.”

I greatly appreciate the time that you took to help me with my search. I would definitely contact you again, to work with you again.

Take care. It’s been wonderful doing business with you. At this point, it surely saved me from a lot of stress.

You are doing a very important job and serving a valuable purpose in people’s lives.

Yoko

Dear Gail,

We were extremely pleased with your help, guidance, and follow-up. Indeed, you made the experience understandable, or perhaps I should say fathomable!

We’re very grateful.

Tom and Carolyn

Hi Gail,
Thank you so much for your help. It was nice to get to choose from several very good candidates. It was definitely the right thing to do to have you assist me.

James

Gail,

Thanks for checking in! I am very happy with your service and am currently engaged in coordinating a cycle with one of the donors you found! Hope all is well with you. Thanks, again!

Mary

Hi Gail,

I just wanted to thank you again for your help finding a great donor. She was wonderful. I am now eight-and-a-half weeks pregnant with twins!
Thanks, again. You made it so easy.

Gina

Gail, I finally followed the link to your site from AFA. Honestly, I’m very impressed—mostly because I know what you say is true. I will refer patients to you, because I know you will attend to their unique needs and circumstances to meet what is needed and desired.

Your friend,

Gretchen Sewall, RN, LICSW, Seattle Reproductive Medicine

Hi Gail,

If I don’t have a donor that suits someone’s needs, I immediately refer them to you. I know you will take care of them and guide them in the right direction. Most of these couples are referred to me directly from their physicians whom I really admire and respect. I just want their patients to have a chance for success, so again, for me and these couples, you and your program are a huge benefit and a blessing to all of us!! Thank you as well for the donor referral—I really appreciate it. I sent her out our donor packet today!

Take care,

Juli, agency director

Wow, you are amazing… Thanks so much for your help. I will start reviewing all of the candidates you have selected…

Karen and Don

I am thrilled to have found Donor Concierge. I wish I had found you a year ago!

Suzie

The girls look great, just what we were looking for. Thank you for taking the “overwhelm” out of finding a donor.

Tracy and Trevor

Thank you so much for your help. We really appreciate your altruistic attitude and the time you have dedicated to our search.

Doug and John

Hi Gail!

It was such a pleasure receiving those recommendations from you last night! Great list of donors! I am so happy we utilized your services and expertise!

Thanks,

Deana

Dear Gail,

We appreciate your help. You certainly made an enormous and overwhelming task much more manageable. We were very pleased with your service. We have found a donor that we feel is just right for us. We will definitely recommend your services to others. The IVF coordinator at our clinic is also interested, so I will be sure to pass your information on to her.

Thanks, again!

Jim and Jenna

Dear Gail,

I am so glad that I found your program. I had been looking for a Korean donor for months without any success. You sent me so many bright and beautiful donors that I was able to find a donor very quickly. The agency you sent me to is also wonderful—they are professional, kind, and helpful. I can’t thank you enough.

Yvonne

Beyond possessing knowledge of the medical, psychological, and legal issues, Gail clearly is genuinely motivated by altruistic intentions. I wholeheartedly recommend Donor Concierge.

Karen

We met many, many professionals along the road as we tried to conceive our child. We were lucky enough to meet Gail during our search. She was so understanding, so smart, and so easy to talk to. Her follow-up was incredible, and her support throughout the process was invaluable. I don’t know what we would have done without her. To have someone as positive and compassionate and understanding and professional as she is like having an angel appear along the way. We have a beautiful son who is the delight of our lives. We unequivocally recommend Gail.

Judy and Ray

Selecting a donor from a series of photos and written essays was one of the strangest, most “Orwellian” things I’ve ever done. While moving forward with our plans for a family was certainly exciting, it was a bittersweet time as well, knowing that our baby would not share my genes. And we felt vulnerable, too, not having met the donor, and wanting to make the best choice with so much at stake, both emotionally and financially. Gail was a warm and comforting person to work with during this process. She was not intrusive, but gladly became engaged when we had questions. We are absolutely thrilled to have worked with the donor we chose, and are thrilled as well with our twin sons.

Thank you, Gail!

Ruth and David
