Egg donation in South Africa is governed by the
National Health Act, which inter alia, stipulates that donors may not be paid for tissue donation. This extends to egg donors not being paid.
Accordingly,
a fixed amount of R7,000 has been deemed appropriate and is not
considered a payment, but a gesture for the donor's inconveniences
incurred.
Whilst egg donation recipients are sincerely grateful
for this special gift and may feel moved to contribute in an additional
way, kindly refrain from giving more money as this is not permitted and
will have to be confiscated by the fertility clinic/ egg donor clinic.
Should
recipients feel moved to give more than the fixed donation to their egg
donor, a small gift is recommended. This is please not to be an
excessive gift, but just a small gesture to express gratitude for this
amazing deed.
Blessings to all our special egg donors and may our recipients be blessed with their gift too.
If
you would like to buy something small,
Faithful to Nature is a wonderful site of natural prodocts. You
are welcome to buy the gift and advise in the recipient details, that
baby2mom will provide details or advise us what you would like to buy
and we can do so on your behalf, sending your anonymous details and
giving the account to you.
