We hired deana degroot and paid her the required fees. For months she never provided a candidate. She had several excuses why...She was sick...The holidays...Not good candidates. She finally after 8 months provided 1 candidate and then she disqualified them due to their history. We have called, emailed, and texted her. It has been close to 60 days and we haven’t heard anything from her. I reviewed our contract and none of our money is refundable! she talks to people for hours at a time and never directly answers the actual question. She has been a complete waste of time and we have now given her $15,000.00 for nothing more than lengthy exhausting phone calls. I will be consulting the advice of a local attorney. I don’t care the cost! she has scammed someone for the last time!
We hired the services of Loving Donation to get an egg donor and gave all the deposits for the donor expenses and payment. The donor traveled to Florida for the egg retrival. The donor tried to contact Loving Donation to pay for her expenses but no one would answer so we had to pay for her expenses.
It has been over 10 days and Loving Donation attorney, the fertility doctor and us can't seem to find anyone that can give us an explanation. Loving Donation owner Deana Hall De Groot and her staff Melissa Carey disappeared with all our deposits and the payment for our donor.
We too were scammed by Loving Donation and Deana Degroot. We picked a donor, paid the fees, the donor backed out. Lost some money on that particular donor. Deana found another donor for us, paid for her fees, somewhere around $16,000. Went through all the IVF process all so that the doctor could disqualify our donor due to he and his staff felt as if she was a "bad egg" and was not taking her medications properly. Therefor none of the eggs fertilized. I asked Deana to refund our money being the donor did not follow protocol and never heard back. DO NOT GO TO THIS COMPANY!!!!
I contacted the agency for an egg donor in November 2014. I was encouraged to fed-ex funds $20,000 immediatley to ensure I would get my donor and start the donor cycle. I sent all funds in form of cashier checks at their request. I thought everything was under control until 2 weeks before our scheduled cycle, when I received call from my nurse at dr office that Loving Donation were no where to be found. Melissa Carey had taken all the money from us and did not give to our donor. We contacted Rolinski & Suarez law office and spoke with Louis Suarez. He wanted to help but was not able to. And he said that several couples are having the same problem.
I applaud the other woman who have shared their experience with Loving Donation. My husband and I took out a loan in order to try this route of having our family after years of struggle. When we followed up to get the remainding funds out of our expense account, we too, were left in silence. I read the reports about the owner Deanna Hall De Grout going to a mental institution in December and I remember an incident where I could not get hold of the coordinator, Melissa Carey for more than a week and she stated the owner had been in the hospital. The last note I received from Melissa was that she had forwarded the request to return the remainding funds from my deposit to Deanna. That was about 2-3 weeks ago. So Loving Donation was still alive and well then. So something is not adding up if that is the "excuse" that will be used. Also, Melissa seemed to be single-handedly running the show and knew who had money out so she could have facilitated the return of funds if given authority to do so. There is no excuse for STEALING people's money. It takes a life's savings to use a donor agency and this is one of the most discusting crimes of all. I filed a police report this morning and will pursue this to the best of my ability. I think we should all join forces. Keep speaking up ladies!
This message goes out to Deanna and Melissa - even if we all sat back and did nothing - GOD sees everything!
We too were scammed.......' by Loving Donation I have already reported her to Siminole County Shreiff Department in 2013. Shrief Named Anthony Lakerman at that time, Telephone 407-665-1426; Deanna Degroot stated that we were in contract that's why she did not have to reimburse the $10,000.00 agency fee. All which was not true because we did not sign the legal contract. Deanna Degroot kept our money after claiming that our donor would not move forward when we demanded our money back she said that the agency fee was not refunable. She did not provide any service at all, not even step one which was to bond the donor and she wanted to keep $10,000.00. We called her lawyer and he gave us the same nonsense of " He does not represent Loving Donation". I have also reported her to the Better Business Bureau, FBI, and the Attorney General, and currently to the DA's office because our clinic were responsible for getting us in contact with Loving Donation and claimed to have use her all the time. If that's the case they too have alot of explaining to do since the agency is on the run! Please help us and all effected with a class action Suit against Loving Donation my husband and I have been trying since 2012 and it seems to have excalated recently. Up to now we have been doing everything possible by ourselves lets do something about this women and all Clinic's that are still recommending this agency because they too are responsible for her stealing money they get kick backs everytime they refer to any agency.
