Are you considering becoming a sperm donor but feeling uncertain about what an Open ID donor program entails? At Bellevue Sperm Bank, we offer a transparent and compassionate approach to sperm donation through our 100% Open ID donor program. Let’s dive into what this means and why it’s essential for both donors and donor-conceived individuals.
Open ID Sperm Donation
What Does Open ID Mean at Bellevue Sperm Bank?
Our Open ID policy ensures that all identifying information about donors remains confidential until requested by an adult donor-conceived individual upon reaching the age of 18. This means that parents cannot request this information, ensuring your privacy and peace of mind.
When the time is right, and both parties agree, contact can be established in the form of a phone call, video call, or any other mutually agreed-upon method.
Why is Open ID Important?
Understanding one’s genetic history is crucial for individuals conceived through sperm donation. By being part of our Open ID program, you’re empowering donor-conceived individuals to explore their heritage, physical traits, and medical history. It fulfills a fundamental human need for curiosity and belonging, providing a sense of connection and identity.
What Happens Between Now and Potential Contact?
As a donor, you’ll continue to provide invaluable support to families on their journey to parenthood. Your contributions remain anonymous until a donor-conceived individual chooses to initiate contact, ensuring a respectful and confidential process for all parties involved.
