Egg Donor Profiles in Colombia: What Information and Photos Can Intended Parents See?
Understanding Egg Donor Privacy, AI-Modified Photos, Physical Characteristics and Donor Selection for Colombia Surrogacy
Updated October 28, 2026
For intended parents considering donor-egg IVF and surrogacy in Colombia, choosing an egg donor is one of the most personal and important decisions in their fertility journey.
Many families want to know more than whether a donor is medically suitable. They may want to understand her age, height, physical appearance, blood type, education, interests and personality.
One question comes up frequently during our consultations:
Can intended parents see an egg donor’s real adult photograph in Colombia?
The answer depends on the fertility provider’s confidentiality policies and the applicable legal framework.
At CanBaby Surrogacy, we provide structured, non-identifying egg donor profiles through our partner fertility clinic in Bogotá. These profiles allow intended parents to review important physical characteristics and personal background information while protecting the donor’s privacy.
Our donor profiles may also include AI-modified reference portraits rather than identifiable, unmodified adult photographs.
This guide explains what information intended parents can review, why donor confidentiality matters and how to make an informed donor selection.
For an overview of the treatment process, you can also explore our Egg Donation IVF and Surrogacy in Colombia program.
What Information Is Included in Egg Donor Profiles in Colombia?
The egg donor profiles in Colombia available through CanBaby provide structured information to help intended parents compare potential donors.
Our current donor selection interface includes a donor reference number, general physical characteristics and a short personal introduction.
For example, one of the profiles available for illustration is identified as OVODO 35.
The profile contains the following information:
| Donor Information | Example Profile |
|---|---|
| Donor ID | OVODO 35 |
| Age | 25 years |
| Height | 163 cm (approximately 5 ft 4 in) |
| Background listed in profile | Latin |
| Blood type | O positive |
| Eye color | Brown |
| Hair type | Straight |
| Hair color | Black |
| Personal introduction | Education, interests and personality |
| Reference portrait | AI-modified image |
This example demonstrates the type of information that intended parents can review when considering donor-egg IVF in Colombia.
The donor’s identifying information, such as her full legal name, residential address, telephone number and personal social media accounts, is not part of the profile provided to intended parents.
The example above represents the current donor profile format, not a guarantee that every donor will have the same characteristics or remain available for treatment.
Why Are Real Adult Egg Donor Photos Restricted?
Egg donor privacy is an important consideration in Colombia’s reproductive medicine sector.
Colombia has confidentiality requirements affecting medical records and donor information.
For example, Resolution 3199 of 1998, referenced in the Colombian Ministry of Health’s Circular 030 of 2025, requires reproductive medicine institutions to maintain confidential donor records.
Colombian Constitutional Court decision C-258 of 2015 also discusses donor confidentiality, while recognizing that Colombia does not have a comprehensive statutory framework covering every aspect of assisted reproduction.
These sources support protecting donor information, but they do not establish a simple universal rule stating that every adult donor photograph is expressly prohibited in all circumstances.
Individual fertility providers may apply stricter confidentiality policies to prevent donors from being identified.
At CanBaby, our current partner-clinic donor selection process does not provide intended parents with unmodified, identifiable adult photographs of egg donors.
This approach helps protect donors from unwanted identification or contact.
It also supports the confidentiality commitments made during donor recruitment and informed consent.
We believe respecting donor privacy is an essential part of responsible fertility treatment.
Why Does CanBaby Use AI-Modified Egg Donor Photos?
Photographs are particularly important to many intended parents.
Families may want a general sense of a donor’s facial appearance before making a decision.
They may also be interested in her hair color, eye color and overall physical characteristics.
However, displaying an identifiable adult photograph may conflict with the fertility provider’s confidentiality policies or applicable privacy requirements.
To balance these considerations, CanBaby’s donor selection interface may display an AI-modified reference portrait.
The image is not presented as an original, unaltered photograph.
Instead, it is a visual reference that has been modified using artificial intelligence to reduce the risk of identifying the donor.
An AI-modified donor portrait is not the donor’s actual, unedited adult photograph.
It should not be treated as an exact representation of her facial features.
AI editing can change facial proportions, skin texture, hair details and other characteristics, even when the resulting image appears realistic.
For this reason, intended parents should rely on the donor’s documented physical characteristics rather than assuming that the reference portrait perfectly represents her appearance.
Our goal is to provide a helpful visual reference while being transparent about its limitations.
Are AI-Modified Egg Donor Photos Accurate?
AI-modified portraits may offer a general visual impression, but their accuracy depends on how the image was created and modified.
A portrait that looks realistic is not necessarily an exact representation of the original person.
It is important to distinguish between two questions.
First, does the image provide a general visual reference?
Second, does it reliably reproduce the donor’s actual appearance?
Those are not the same.
At CanBaby, we disclose that donor reference portraits are AI-modified.
We do not promise that the portrait will predict exactly how a donor looks in person or how a future child will look.
For intended parents, the documented characteristics in the donor profile remain the more reliable source of information about the donor’s recorded appearance.
Can Intended Parents Choose an Egg Donor Based on Appearance?
Physical characteristics are often part of the donor selection process.
Families may express preferences concerning height, eye color, hair color, hair type and broad physical background.
Some intended parents prefer a donor who shares certain characteristics with one of the future parents.
Others place greater importance on age, medical suitability or personal background.
The egg donor profiles in Colombia available through CanBaby allow families to review the characteristics displayed in the donor selection system.
However, selecting an egg donor based on physical appearance does not guarantee that a future child will inherit the same traits.
A child’s appearance reflects the complex interaction of genes inherited from both genetic contributors.
Eye color, hair characteristics, height and facial features are influenced by multiple genes and developmental factors.
Even when a donor has brown eyes and black hair, a future child’s appearance cannot be predicted with certainty.
We encourage families to consider physical characteristics as one part of the decision, not as a guarantee of the child’s eventual appearance.
What Can a Donor’s Personal Introduction Tell Us?
In addition to physical characteristics, our donor profiles may contain a short personal statement.
For example, the OVODO 35 profile describes a young woman interested in studying law, particularly topics involving children and adolescents.
Her introduction also mentions an interest in poetry, romantic music, exercise and spending time with friends.
She describes enjoying simple activities, such as sharing coffee with people she cares about, and expresses an interest in helping vulnerable individuals.
This type of information can give intended parents a sense of the donor’s stated interests and personality.
However, a personal introduction is not a psychological evaluation or a verified prediction of personality traits in a future child.
It is simply part of the non-identifying information the donor has chosen to share through the profile.
For some families, these personal details make the donor selection process feel more meaningful.
Are Egg Donors in Colombia Medically Screened?
Donor selection involves much more than appearance.
Medical screening is an essential part of responsible egg donation.
In Colombia, fertility providers use medical protocols to evaluate prospective donors before accepting them for treatment.
Screening may include medical history, infectious-disease testing, reproductive health assessment, psychological evaluation and genetic testing, depending on the clinic’s protocols.
The specific screening requirements and results should always be confirmed with the treating clinic.
A public donor profile is not the same as a complete medical screening record.
At CanBaby, we distinguish between the information displayed in the donor selection interface and the clinical assessments performed by the medical provider.
The partner fertility clinic is responsible for determining whether a donor meets its medical eligibility requirements.
Intended parents should ask what screening is performed, whether carrier screening is included and how any relevant findings are addressed.
CanBaby’s approach to fertility coordination is informed by nearly 20 years of embryology experience. You can learn more about our professional background on our About CanBaby Surrogacy page.
Does Donor Anonymity Mean the Clinic Does Not Know Who the Donor Is?
No.
Donor anonymity toward intended parents is different from anonymity within the medical institution.
A fertility clinic may maintain confidential identifying records for medical, regulatory and traceability purposes without disclosing those records to the intended parents.
This distinction is important for patient safety and proper laboratory documentation.
The donor may be identified in the clinic’s internal medical records while appearing under a reference code in the selection system.
For example, OVODO 35 functions as a donor identifier within the profile shown to intended parents.
It does not disclose the donor’s full legal identity.
This allows the medical team to manage donor records while maintaining appropriate confidentiality.
How Does Egg Donor Selection Work With Surrogacy in Colombia?
For intended parents using donor eggs and gestational surrogacy, donor selection is an early part of the IVF process.
Families begin by reviewing available donor profiles and discussing their preferences with the fertility coordination team.
Once a donor is selected and the medical provider confirms her eligibility and availability, the clinic coordinates the appropriate treatment schedule.
The donor undergoes ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval according to the clinic’s medical protocol.
The retrieved eggs are then fertilized using sperm from the intended father or another permitted sperm source, depending on the treatment plan.
Embryologists monitor embryo development in the laboratory.
Depending on the medical plan, embryos may undergo genetic testing and cryopreservation before transfer to a gestational carrier.
The gestational carrier is a separate participant in the reproductive process.
She carries the pregnancy but does not provide the egg in a gestational surrogacy arrangement.
This distinction is particularly important for international families who are unfamiliar with the difference between egg donation and gestational surrogacy.
For families considering a program that combines donor-egg IVF with gestational surrogacy, CanBaby also explains the structure of its Guaranteed Birth Surrogacy Program in Colombia.
Program coverage, eligibility, exclusions and financial protections depend on the written agreement.
Why Donor Confidentiality Matters for International Intended Parents
International intended parents often compare donor programs in several countries.
Some programs provide extensive donor photographs, educational records and personal histories.
Other programs operate under stricter confidentiality policies.
These differences can affect how families experience the donor selection process.
For example, a family accustomed to seeing multiple unmodified adult donor photographs may initially find Colombia’s more limited donor disclosure practices unfamiliar.
However, the absence of an identifiable adult photograph does not mean that the donor has not undergone medical screening.
It also does not mean that the medical provider lacks identifying information about the donor.
Instead, the information available to intended parents may be deliberately separated from the confidential medical records maintained by the clinic.
The key is transparency.
Families should know which information has been verified by the clinic, which information is self-reported by the donor and which images have been digitally modified.
They should also understand whether any additional non-identifying medical information can be discussed with the treating team.
At CanBaby, we believe intended parents should receive a clear explanation of these distinctions before making a donor selection.
What Should Intended Parents Consider Before Selecting an Egg Donor?
Choosing an egg donor should involve more than reviewing a photograph.
The donor’s age, medical eligibility, screening results and availability are important considerations.
Families may also want to understand the donor’s physical characteristics and personal interests.
When reviewing an AI-modified portrait, intended parents should remember that it is a reference image rather than an exact representation.
They should also ask the fertility team about the expected IVF process, the number of eggs or embryos covered by the program, genetic testing options and the treatment plan if the first cycle does not produce suitable embryos.
These questions help families evaluate the entire reproductive process rather than focusing exclusively on appearance.
For international intended parents, legal and financial planning also matters.
Our Colombia Surrogacy Risk Guide discusses broader considerations involving genetic relationships, parentage, costs and potential legal complications.
Understanding these issues before treatment can help families make more informed decisions.
What Makes CanBaby’s Egg Donor Selection Approach Different?
CanBaby Surrogacy was founded by an embryologist with nearly 20 years of experience in reproductive laboratory medicine.
That background shapes how we explain donor-egg IVF to intended parents.
We understand embryo development, laboratory procedures and the medical uncertainties that can affect fertility treatment.
We also understand that choosing an egg donor is a deeply personal decision.
Some families prioritize physical resemblance. Others focus on the donor’s medical background, personality or personal interests.
We believe these preferences deserve respectful discussion.
At the same time, we do not want families to misunderstand what an AI-modified portrait represents.
Our current donor selection system provides structured information about the donor’s age, physical characteristics, blood type and personal introduction.
Where an AI-modified portrait is displayed, we explain that it is not an unmodified adult photograph.
Our partner fertility clinic in Bogotá performs the medical treatment and determines donor eligibility.
CanBaby provides fertility consulting and coordination, helping intended parents understand the available information and the steps involved in donor-egg IVF and gestational surrogacy.
Our objective is to make the selection process more understandable without compromising donor confidentiality.
