Donor Network Alliance's blog

Joel Brodsky, 40, has joined the Donor Network Alliance (www.donornetworkalliance.com ) as equity partner and chief operating officer, the company announced today.

Donor Network Alliance (DNA) is an affiliation of leading U.S. egg donor agencies, through which they share their egg donor candidates via an online database. It aims to facilitate intended parents’ search for egg donors and help participating agencies gain greater exposure to a larger number of prospective clients.

With three of the largest egg donor recruitment agencies in the U.S. having joined as members, the Donor Network Alliance (DNA) has reached the 5,000 mark in the number of registered donors in this national donor database.

DNA (www.donornetworkalliance.com) is an unprecedented affiliation of leading U.S. egg donor agencies who have consolidated their egg donor profiles in a single Web site, making the egg donor search easier for intended parents, and giving agencies greater exposure to a larger number of prospective clients.

If you’re seriously thinking about egg donation to start a family or thinking of becoming an egg donor, you need to listen the latest show on Creating A Family. It’s about how to choose an egg donor. DNA’s Nancy Block was part of a great roundtable discussion about the process, ethics, costs, genetic testing, meeting donors and much more.

Donor Network Alliance co-founder Nancy Block was recently interviewed on the nationally broadcast Radio Health Journal to discuss the process of egg donation and what intended parents and donors can expect when working with an agency. She also discusses the benefits of the using the Donor Network Alliance and how donors are screened. Check it out: http://www.mediatracks.com/RHJ_10-07.mp3
