Fairfax Cryobank ID Consent Donor Program
Children conceived by donor insemination may simply want to learn more about their donors as a way of exploring more about themselves. Providing offspring the option to contact their donor when they reach adulthood can be an important factor in realizing that goal. In response to requests from patients, Fairfax Cryobank is now pleased to be offering the ID Consent program on a select group of donors. The donors with this option are designated by an ‘ID Consent’ under the donor number on the donor register. Find out about our newest donors, many of them ID Consent, by visiting our 'Meet Our Newest Donors' page. We offer several other donor categories, Fairfax, Fairfax Doctorate and Family Solutions, all of which are anonymous. Our anonymous donor program and our ID Consent Donor program are distinct, separate programs and donors cannot participate in both.
Features of the ID Consent Donor program include:
ID Consent donors agree to allow Fairfax Cryobank to share identifying information with any offspring, 18 or older, conceived by donor insemination with their semen specimen. Adult offspring will be the ONLY individual(s) with the authority to request identifying information and to have access to the identifying information.
Identifying information is defined as the ID Consent Donor’s full name, date of birth, last known telephone numbers and addresses, and other personally identifying information that the ID Consent Donor has agreed to release and that Fairfax Cryobank chooses to release.
ID Consent Donors stay in contact with Fairfax Cryobank and update information regularly. Although donors agree to participate in the ID Consent Program, they are not obligated to meet their offspring. To protect patient confidentiality, donors can never access the names of offspring and their parents through Fairfax Cryobank. For more information about our guidelines on who can be an ID Consent donor, please see our Privacy Policy.
Patients agree to sign a consent form and have it notarized before any semen samples can be purchased and shipped. Once an offspring conceived by an ID Consent Donor is born, parents must complete required registration information on that child. As with our anonymous donors, ID Consent Donors will have no legal relationship, rights or obligations to any offspring born using their donated semen. Parents and offspring understand that the ID Consent program is not intended to create family relationships between the ID Consent Donor and their offspring. Yet the opportunity to one day contact their donor offers an empowering choice that offspring can now make once they reach adulthood. Instructions and information for ordering ID Consent Donor semen:
