The Early Disclosure Program
The Early Disclosure Program
The Early Disclosure Program (EDP) is a first-of-a-kind sperm donor identity release standard that is exclusive to Cascade Cryobank. The donor’s identity is available as soon as a live birth is reported. Parents can obtain the sperm donor’s identity, date of birth, and last known state of residence.
How It Works
- Choose an EDP Donor from our catalogue.
- Report the live birth of your child to us by downloading the “Open ID Birth Reporting” form.
- When you feel the time is right, request donor identity information.
- Write a letter to the donor to request contact. Cascade will deliver the letter and set up a meeting facilitated by a professional counselor when both parties agree to meet.
Recipients of an Early Disclosure Program donor’s sperm may request further contact with the donor after the initial meeting, although future contact will be based upon mutually agreed conditions determined during the initial meeting.
