Surrogacy and Egg Donation are both part of the Assisted Reproductive Technology world, an option to those who need 'help' building their family. There are two different types of Surrogacy, Traditional, where the surrogate mother uses her own eggs and therefore is biologically related to the child and a Gestational Carrier where the Intended Mother uses her own eggs or an Egg Donor is used to make the embryos (IVF) that are transferred via embryo transfer by a Reproductive Endocrinologist.
Egg Donation, is pretty strait forward. A young woman between the ages of 21 and 30 donate their eggs to Intended Parents. This procedure is usually anonymous but not always. The ED is stimulated by taking medication so that more then a few eggs are retrieved and then they are fertilized in the lab with sperm from the Intended Father or a Sperm Donor.

I just finished reading Standing in Two Places by Ashley Dyson and as always, wanted to share my honest thoughts with you. Although it's a 'thin' book, only 161 pages in length, it is thick with emotion as Ashley describes the circumstances that leads her to the Center for Surrogate Parenting and ultimately to her goal of having her 2nd child with the help of her surrogate mother, Norah. Infertility is an individualized journey as is surrogacy. Each Intended Parent has their own coping mechanism and apparently Ashley has found hers in reading the likes of Erik H. Erikson (Identity: Youth and Crisis) and ...

In traditional surrogacy (also known as the Straight method) the surrogate is pregnant with her own biological child, but this child was conceived with the intention of relinquishing the child to be raised by others such as the biological father and possibly his spouse or partner. The child may be conceived via sexual intercourse ( NI ), home artificial insemination using fresh or frozen sperm or impregnated via IUI (intrauterine insemination), or ICI (intracervical insemination) which is performed at a fertility clinic. Sperm from the male partner of the 'commissioning couple' may be used, or alternatively, sperm from a sperm donor can be used. ...
