Ad Seeking 'Green-Eyed Beauty' Not for Dating But for Egg Donation
LatestThis morning on the Today show, viewers met Robin Young, a pretty, athletic, 28-year-old woman who has donated eggs three times and is getting ready for a fourth procedure. Robin, a dancer who reads Back Stage, was recruited for egg donation via a very specific ad in the magazine.
According to NBC’s Katy Tur, Robin replied to an ad seeking a “green-eyed Italian beauty.” Sounds like a casting call. And in a way, it was: After going through a background check and a health evaluation, Robin was interviewed by the couple hoping to use her DNA. She told Today: “I was so nervous, I kept smiling. But I wanted them to feel and know who I was.”
