Holly's egg donation story - Men Having Babies seminar 2010

Holly donated her eggs so Gary and Tony, a NY gay couple, can become parents. She shared her story at the Men Having Babies seminar in September 2010. As a known egg donor, a practice common at Circle Surrogacy which is the agency the couple used, she met the intended parents, and plans to stay in touch with the family. Holly spoke about the medical process, the screening process, being a donor to a gay couple, and the relationships with intended parents. She also spoke about the CNN documentary that was produced of their experience, "Gary &Tony Have a Baby".

This presentation was part of the sixth annual "Men Having Babies" seminar, hosted by Center Kids, the family program of the New York LGBT Community Center. The panel was moderated by Terry Boggis, the director of Center Kids.
