Who will the baby look like in cases of egg donation?

By Rebeca Reus BSc, MSc (embryologist).
Last Update: 05/19/2017

Fertility clinics make sure that egg donors share similar physical characteristics with the recipient, so that they resemble the future child in spite of not sharing their DNA with him or her, and the same applies in cases where donor sperm is used. If the baby is conceived using your partner's or husband's sperm, then he or she will resemble him as well.
