Exploring alternative paths to parenthood often involves considering the role of egg donation. Egg donation can be a viable option for individuals or couples facing infertility or genetic issues that affect the quality of the eggs. This method allows intended parents to use donated eggs from a healthy and fertile donor to achieve pregnancy.

For example, a couple struggling with female infertility may opt for egg donation to fulfill their dream of becoming parents. By using donor eggs, they can experience pregnancy and childbirth, thereby creating a biological connection to their child.
