Sperm Donation FAQs
Can you guarantee you'll find me a sperm donor?
While we can’t guarantee a match, we will present you with all available candidates who meet your criteria. Our experienced case managers have a 95% match rate and conduct the most comprehensive searches possible to maximize your chances of finding the right donor.
Should I tell my child that they were conceived using donor sperm?
Though this is a personal choice, the general recommendation is to tell your child when you think they’re ready. Although conversations with your child about their donor origins may seem overwhelming, many available resources can help, including books, support groups, counseling, and The Donor Sibling Registry.
Will my baby look like me if I use a sperm donor?
We do our best to match you with donors who look like they could be a part of your extended family. During the Donor Concierge intake process, you share pictures of yourself, your partner, and your family with your case manager so they can take your physical appearance into account when curating potential donors. While no one can guarantee what a baby will look like (not even families conceiving through traditional means), our team will prioritize matching you with donors who bear a resemblance to you.
