About Us
At Intend, we work closely with our egg donors to help others achieve their dream of having a family and we take the time to get to know all our egg donors so that successful matches can be made.
All of our donors have been carefully screened prior to becoming available on the donor database. That means that intended parents can select a donor knowing they have met the preliminary medical requirements to be a qualified donor.
Intend Egg Donors’ staff provides an exceptional level of care and support services to our egg donors throughout the screening and donation process.
Intend is also committed to transparency. Our fees are all clearly outlined and there are no hidden costs.
For more information, please feel free to contact us by email or call 503-282-5223.
Lastly, check out this video from our founders, Sandy & John, on how and why they created our parent company, Northwest Surrogacy Center!
