We have just matched with a donor through Graceful Conception. The process has been remarkably fast. We contacted them on Monday and today (Wednesday) we confirmed a match with our dream donor!
This agency is pretty much unique in that it puts all of its donors (with adult photos) on a publicly-accessible web site. You don't have to provide your personal information to see them, which is wonderful.
I made a list of donors who interested us and the agency immediately sent me full profiles by e-mail, with additional photos, at no charge. They also recommended some additional donors who might work for us.
I think Graceful Conception really benefits from its location, near an abundance of top colleges and universities. The intellectual quality of their donors seems to be unmatched. I could not believe the number of high-scoring, top-grades-earning, well-educated donors on their list.
Their list also seems to be kept very up-to-date. I didn't have any issues with asking about a donor and being told \"oh, that donor's not really available right now,\" which I hear is a problem with a lot of agencies.
In the last three days I've had many extended phone conversations with Sandi, the owner, and her mother Judi, who helps with the business. They are both delightful people, fun to talk with and super helpful. I am so impressed with their integrity. Really I can't think of enough nice things to say about them so far!
