[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've looked at SGF's bank and Donor Egg USA, and there are very few donors (maybe 15%) who have completed a 4-year degree. This is regardless of race/ethnicity. Do you find this to be the case with other egg banks?[/quote]

I think if you want a baby you should be open to non college women's eggs.  Just because you dont go to college doesnt make you stupid.  [/quote]

I agree with this.

Even with non 4 yr college graduate donors you can get a sense of potentially intelligence reading between the lines.  i.e. a donor with a 3.8 GPA who reports being very bright and having the ability to skip a grade in elementary school, top of vocational school class winning awards versus donor with 3.3 high school GPA who reported having tutors to help with school. (These are actual examples of donors I looked at).  You get some sense from writing style/ability although that can be due to education - i.e. vocational school graduate does write differently than donor with Master's degree.   Of course people can lie but still I think you can get a sense.

Donating because of knowing someone with infertility and wanting to help others was the second most common reason I saw after financial so I do think some are somewhat more altruistically motivated.   [/quote]
