My Donor Connection is a full-service egg donor and surrogacy agency based in Ramsey, Minnesota. It is a for-profit company, founded and owned by Krystal Lemcke, and works with a small team that includes coordinators handling donor recruitment and cycle coordination. According to its website, the agency has worked in third-party reproduction since 2011. It also appears in at least one industry directory under the alternate brand name MDC Surrogacy.
The agency serves intended parents, egg donors and gestational surrogates, and says it facilitates gestational surrogacy only. It describes itself as "not a one-size-fits-all" agency and says it will help intended parents look for a donor or surrogate even when the right fit is not found within its own database.
As a full-service program, My Donor Connection handles both egg donation and surrogacy matching. Its published criteria for surrogates include an age range, a body mass index limit, a no-smoking policy, and a requirement that applicants be U.S. citizens living in a state where surrogacy arrangements are workable. The agency publishes its fees, and the eligibility, compensation and fee details it lists appear in the tables below.
The agency's founder submitted written testimony, including the agency's intake and application materials, to the Minnesota Legislative Commission on Surrogacy in August 2016, which offers a public record of how the program screens applicants.
