Becoming a sperm donor is not a decision anyone takes lightly. There is a lot to consider from the level of contact you want with any families who use your donation to how it may impact your future. Deciding to become a sperm donor is a selfless act that enables families who cannot conceive a child on their own to become parents.
Enabling Family Growth
For families who cannot conceive a child on their own, sperm donation is a true gift. It enables them to start and grow their family. When you donate sperm, you help to make the dreams of parents-to-be come true. Families are given options when it comes to choosing their path, and they prefer when choosing sperm.
They can choose physical traits as well as personality traits and educational background. Add to this the fact that there is a limit to how many times someone can donate, your donation is allowing more families to choose sperm donation to grow their families.
Strict Requirements
Because of the strict requirements that must be met when it comes to sperm donation, your decision to donate means that more families can choose this route to start their family. Strict requirements mean that some potential donors might not want to go through the process and back out. For those that go through the process and become sperm donors, their donations can only be used a specific number of times, which means the need for donors is ongoing.
Strict requirements benefit families as they deserve only the best when it comes to selecting a donor. While going through health screening and passing physical requirements might seem like a lot of effort, it is worth it to be able to gift families with a child.
Expanding Options
For individuals and couples who are looking to grow their family, sperm donors are a blessing. In addition to insemination, people are familiar with IVF, or in-vitro fertilization, which takes place outside the body. The donor sperm is mixed with an egg in a lab and incubated in order to create embryos.
Once the best embryo is chosen, it is transferred into the uterus. There is also a fertility treatment called reciprocal IVF which occurs when one partner’s eggs are used to create an embryo with donor sperm and then implanted into the other partner. This treatment allows both partners to be a biological part of the pregnancy. By donating sperm, you are giving couples options for not only having a child, but how they can bring the child into the world.
Sperm donation is a great way to contribute to the growth of families who otherwise may be unable to have children. At Cascade Cryobank, we are always looking for enthusiastic donors to help us help families achieve their dreams of having children.
