Sperm donation can help individuals and couples grow their families. It can even be a transformative process because it gives people options where they may have thought they had run out.
Everyone’s story is different. You could be a single parent looking to start a family, a same-sex couple desiring parenthood, or a have fertility challenges to overcome. Understanding the process and what to expect will make the process so much easier. Here’s what you need to know:
Sperm donation involves a donor providing sperm to assist with conception. This can occur through medical procedures such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in-vitro fertilization (IVF).
To do this, recipients can search for the right sperm donor for them. Look for information like traits, medical history, and even which disclosure types they’ve consented to. Visit this page to find out more about our donors, disclosure types, and more.
Selecting the right donor is the most important part of the process. At Cascade Cryobank, we put a lot of effort into selecting the best sperm donors to become part of our catalog. We know how important it is to have a great selection!
You can consider factors such as physical traits, educational background, medical history, and even hobbies or interests. Sperm banks provide extensive profiles to help recipients find a donor that aligns with their preferences.
Open communication with your partner, if applicable, or a counselor can help clarify your priorities.
The Early Disclosure Program (EDP) is a groundbreaking initiative that sets Cascade Cryobank apart, offering a donor identity release standard available as soon as a live birth is reported. This exclusive program empowers families with the ability to connect with their donor on their own terms.
Whether you’re seeking clarity, closure, or simply a deeper understanding of your child’s origins, this program allows for a supportive and transparent pathway for making that connection.
Participants in the program also have the option to facilitate their first interaction with the donor through a virtual meeting, moderated by one of our licensed mental health professionals. This ensures that the process is guided with care, respect, and sensitivity for all parties involved.
