If you desire to grow your family, somewhere on your journey, you may have realized that you need to look to sperm donation to make this happen. So, you start to look at donor catalogs.
The problem with taking this approach is that it can be overwhelming. If you look at the catalogs without first knowing what you’re looking for, you could feel so lost! This is an important decision, and you want to get it right.
Before looking at catalogs, you should take some time to discover what types of traits you’ll be looking for. Here’s some advice that can help.
Do you have any nonnegotiable traits? If so, this will be the stage where you should outline what they are. Otherwise, you could impulsively select a sperm donor that has traits that you ultimately won’t want. Which traits really matter to you?
This will involve more than just discovering the physical characters that you want. You will also have to consider your family’s medical history, as well as the medical history of the donors. So, in this phase, you need to decide what you really want. If you need help, consider working with your doctor or a specialized counselor for this unique journey.
For a lot of families, considering physical traits pay an important part of the process. In the last step, we asked you to consider if there were any deal breakers. This step is similar, but the difference here is that the physical traits that you’ll consider here may be preferences, but not necessarily dealbreakers. It all depends.
What are you really looking for? Some families opt to select donors with similar physical characters as them. Other recipients decide to go in a completely different direction and select the opposite. This is all personal preference.
While a lot of people tend to focus on physical traits, it is important not to ignore the non-physical traits, as well. These tend to be a bit more abstract. Whereas physical traits are tangible (you can plainly see the donor’s eye color, hair color, et cetera), non-physical traits aren’t as easily quantified. However, they are just as important.Before viewing donor profiles, you should think about traits such as intelligence, education level, profession, personality, and more. Even though there are no actual guarantees, you can stand a chance of transferring these traits onto your offspring. For example, if you want an intelligent child with a good sense of humor, you’ll want to look for these traits in your donors to increase your chances.
When it comes to viewing donor profiles, it stands to reason that you’ll want to match the traits you want in your offspring to the donor you ultimately choose. To make the process easier, you’ll want to think through the traits that are important to you. To view or donor catalog, please visit this link: https://cascadecryobank.com/find-a-donor/
