Sperm Search
As with each of my searches, initially I schedule a virtual consultation or call to understand more about your criteria for your sperm donor: This includes your wants, the needs of your clinic and suggestions we have based on experience. I spend time discussing with you sperm donation, profiles and how sperm is purchased. The majority of the time, you are purchasing sperm from what is called a “sperm bank,” and in a smaller number of cases, we will be searching and sharing sperm donor profiles from a select number of USA based, trusted agencies.
The Search
Each week I reach out to a number of reputable, vetted agencies, and sperm banks to review incoming and returning sperm donor profiles. Using the criteria we have agreed upon, I selectively share profiles and information with you regarding donors of interest.
I have discovered many sperm banks share limited information about their donors, especially photographs. Some do not share any photos, while others will only share one or two of the donors at a young age. This can be difficult for intended parents who may have also searched for an egg donor, as egg donor profiles generally include many pictures of a donor at various ages, family members, and on occasion, videos. It is important to adjust expectations on what may not be accessible in your decision making process. You may have to purchase photos for an added fee from some sperm banks and I will share this information with you when the profile is shared.
If you like a profile, let me know immediately! As with Surrogates and Egg Donors, Sperm Donors are being shared with many intended parents who have access to databases, and the available sperm can be purchased quickly. Depending on the company representing the sperm donor, I may be able to reach out to ask more questions, request pictures, find out exact availability and pricing on a specific sperm donor. In the majority of banks, sperm is most often sold in “vials”, thus, we are also checking on the number of vials available.
We want Your Feedback
Your feedback on each profile helps me refine your custom search as I proceed in real time. I share an interactive spreadsheet with my comments to include pros and cons. I value your feedback with your likes and dislikes. From there, we can refine our list and narrow down to donors who fit your wishes, and avoid donors who are not suitable for your family creation.
Matching with Your Donor
After searching and discovering who is available and what pricing is offered, it is time for you to make a choice. Depending on the company representing your donor, I will facilitate introductions to an agency or provide step by step instructions for a sperm bank in order for you to make your purchase. You will want your fertility doctor to share thoughts on the number of vials needed to be purchased. When possible, I will educate you on additional features a company may or may not have, such as short term holds, potential for additional purchases, fees and more.
Package Cost
Our search fee is $3,300. Once your fee is paid, the search can begin within one to two days, or dated to the timeframe that suits you best. My goal for you is to have your sperm donor match, and/or your sperm vials purchased within 2-4 weeks. I am quite serious about reaching this goal for my intended parents as this is your custom search and your step forward to creating your family.
