Agency vs Known: You can use a relative or a friend, or an anonymous donor through an agency. There are multiple agencies across the country, your donor can, but does not have to be, from your area. Usually these are pre-screened healthy young women. You know their medical history, their personality, physical traits and usually have baby and adult pictures. This requires in vitro fertilization.
