Choosing the right Agency for you...
At The Donor Solution, we know that you have a wide variety of options when it comes to selecting whom you wish to work with for egg donation. However, all agencies are not created equal. At The Donor Solution, we work tirelessly to find egg donors that are well suited for our clients. With our 25+ year history in the field of egg donation, we strive to maintain the highest standards in the entire industry. We provide a comprehensive suite of financial options and categories of egg donors to match most Intended Parents’ needs in Third-Party Parenting.
- Intensive personal interviews by our Donor Coordinator team who actually meet with donors and learn more about them and their personality, health and psychological history, review medical/genetic records and assess their suitability to become an egg donor in our program.
- Pre-screenings of egg donors that may include AMh testing. These screenings are performed before potential egg donors are added to our database. We also do extensive background checks, transcript reviews, and in-person interviewing before adding anyone to our database of donors.
- Our home office is in Houston but we recruit donors from across the entire US.
- Complimentary access to our extensive database of donors with multi-page profiles and multiple photos and personality impressions done by our staff.

Mary Fusillo, RN, BSN, MS
Founder & C.E.O.
Mary M. Fusillo, RN, BSN, MS is the founder and CEO of Family Solutions International. Mary was introduced to the area of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility while facing her own challenge of having children.
As the Clinical Nursing Director of an Infertility clinic in Houston, she was instrumental in starting the Donor Egg program and recruiting their first donors. This program went from one donor in the Fall of 1999 to over 120 in 2004.
Moving to the greater Washington, D.C. area, Mary becomes the Clinical Infertility Nursing Director at one of the oldest and most prestigious infertility clinics in the United States. With over 200 cycles of donor egg per year, managing donors and recipients while introducing new recruitment methods was a challenge.
Recruited by one of the largest Pharmacy Benefit Management companies to run their Donor Egg pharmacy program, she traveled all over the country, consulting large and small clinics on issues that affect egg donation nationwide. She is a member of the Nurses Professional Group of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, a former National Board Member of RESOLVE, Inc., as well as a member of ASRM and ESHRE. Her volunteer work in the field of infertility led her to found “Donor Moms, a network of support for mothers via egg donation”.
In 2007 Mary started The Donor Solution. On August 14, 2007, the website went live and she started recruiting donors, and the company had its first match in October 2007. She started with only 19 donors but a short time later she had recruited 100's of screened donors to meet a burgeoning need for alternatives to the small donor pools found in IVF clinics.
After feeling like The Donor Solution was doing well, Mary launched 3 Sisters Surrogacy in 2012, because she saw a need for people who needed both donor egg and surrogacy. Since 2012, 30-40% of 3 Sisters Surrogacy’s journeys are with people who used our egg donor. In 2018, Mary put The Donor Solution and 3 Sisters Surrogacy under the Family Solutions International umbrella as a bridge to the domestic and international community. In 2020, she started The Fertility Consultants with the mission to assist intended parents in navigating the challenges of 3rd Party reproduction and finally merged all the companies together under the FSI umbrella.
In the fall of 2019, Mary started a Ph.D. program in bioethics, over her 25+ years of infertility and 35 years in healthcare, she was constantly confronted with moral and ethical issues. Even now, a single embryo transfer is fraught with issues of people wanting twins. She decided to get her Ph.D. in bioethics because she wanted to understand the ethical aspects of this biological field deeper, and felt there needed to be an ethicist who had a very deep background in infertility.
As a business owner, scholar, and the mother of adult twins, and the wife to a busy executive in the energy industry, Mary realizes how important your time is and how difficult this journey may be. Family Solutions International is here to help you find a solution to your family building needs.
