Donating eggs means you are the biological mom of the baby born as a result of your donation?

By Rebeca Reus BSc, MSc (embryologist).

Yes, the biological mother of a child is the woman whom he inherits half of his DNA. As DNA is inherited from the gametes from which a person is conceived, the donor would be the biological mother of the child, and the recipient the birth mother.
