Dear posters -
First, allow me to begin with saying that 1) I am a donor with ED Inc 2) This is my personal opinion and experience, it is an isolated opinion. Take it as you will.
I've been with ED Inc for about a year and have not had any experiences like some of those who are unhappy with the agency. I've cycled three times, only 2 of which were completed. The second cycle ended early because the couple wanted ED Inc to work out of protocol and they refused. I was contacted immediately by ED Inc and compensated to the full term of the agreement.
My case coordinator is one of the best. If I could hire her to work for me, I would. She responds immediately to everytime I email her. She checks in on me to see how i'm doing. She facilitates coordination between me and the couple. She has accomodated all of mine and my recipient couples requests. I was so pleased with the last cycle I sent the office a gift of gratitude because they took excellent care of me.
Furthermore, the facility in MD is one of the top ranked facilities in the country, NOT according to them, but according to the independent research I've done on my own accord.
Go ahead, check my IP address, I'm a legitimate donor, not some staff member at ED Inc that is trying to post positive things about ED Inc just because it got some bad reviews. When I heard about the horrible things said about the agency, I felt it incumbent upon myself to defend some really good people.
Here's the thing, this is a VERY sensitive subject with alot of gray area. There's elements of confidentiality that have to be dealt with, actually, there's MANY. There's so many intricate details as to why we donate, why we want to conceive, why we do what we do. Its not cut and dry, its not for everyone. This is fundamentally a matching system. And I match well with EDInc's system. If you are unhappy with them or you don't feel comfortable using them, then DON'T. This is too important and you need to go with your gut.
Like I said, this is just my personal opinion, my gut is very happy with ED Inc...I wouldn't go anywhere else and I definitely checked out at least 10 other agencies before I went with them. I've never regretted it, not once.
Please, feel free to comment, as this is an open forum. I will be happy to answer any questions anyone has.
