When using donor eggs, the donor egg recipient wants to be sure that the baby is legally hers.  You don’t want your donor coming to claim your baby.  The donor wants to know that she is not responsible for raising and paying for the child.  That is why a donor egg contract is essential to protect both the wishes of the egg recipient and the donor.  Today we have New York attorney Amy Demma providing critical information about donor egg contracts. Amy was the president of the board of directors of RESOLVE: New England, and she will be joining the board of Parents Via Egg Donation. She founded the Law Offices of Amy Demma in East Hampton.  She can be contacted at 516-662-7532, and you can read her blog at www.eggdonationtoday.com
