First-Ever Egg Donor Web Portal Becomes One of The Largest Resources for
Aspiring Parents in the U.S.

Newly Launched Donor Network Alliance Achieves Company & Industry Milestone of
1000 + Egg Donors

CHICAGO, June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Through a unique and effective collaboration
of egg donor agencies through out the United States, The Donor Network
Alliance (DNA) - the industry's first ever web-based collective of egg donors
- has quickly become one of the largest egg donation resources in the country
with more than one thousand diverse and multi-cultural egg donor candidates. 

Launched just over three months ago and already generating widespread industry
recognition, the DNA website is a robust portal of potential egg donors listed
with agencies throughout the entire U.S. In order to find the perfect donor,
the comprehensive yet easy-to-use database enables intended parents to search
specific donor parameters such as ethnicity, education, phenotype and more.
The system then automatically generates an email that is sent directly to the
registered donor agency of the individual donors.

Populating rapidly with egg donor candidates across the county, the simple
functionality of the DNA website not only streamlines the process, it also
saves aspiring parents a considerable amount of time and money during an
already difficult and emotional fertility journey. For participating agencies,
it provides an increase in exposure and expanded opportunities for their
donors and intended parents.  

Robin von Halle, DNA Co-Founder explains that the goal was to build a program
to give intended parents more control over their egg donor search process, as
well as create a positive unification that did not previously exist within the
industry. "We are delighted to bring together some of the most credible and
esteemed agencies across the country, while better serving the needs of the
infertility community. We have close to 2,000 additional donor candidates to
add to the website and it's our goal to reach 8,000 by the end of the year,"
she adds. 

DNA began with three competing egg donor agencies in Chicago (Alternative
Reproductive Resources (ARR), The Center for Egg Options Illinois (CEO) and
ConceiveAbilities), and now collaborates with agencies from California,
Massachusetts, Texas, Washington DC, Florida, Colorado, Arizona, Minnesota,
Georgia and more. The website will soon be launching internationally, in order
to provide family building options to many international fertility patients
often restricted by limited resources or reproductive laws in their own
country.

Robin von Halle will be attending the 25th Annual Meeting of the European
Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Amsterdam, The Netherlands
from June 28 - July 1 and will be available to discuss this program and third
party reproductive options in the U.S. and abroad.
