Replying to @Bela Almeida I had a baby with a sperm donor, and one thing that surprised me was just how much information you can learn when you’re choosing one. Beyond basics like height, eye color, hair color, and ethnicity, some sperm banks include personal essays, childhood photos, interviews, and even audio recordings so you can hear their voice. You’ll also typically have access to genetic carrier screening, which is incredibly important because you can compare the donor’s results with your own. You may also see self-reported medical history for parents, grandparents, and other relatives. In some ways, choosing a donor gives you access to information you probably wouldn’t have before deciding to have a child with someone you met naturally. It can feel incredibly overwhelming when you’re searching, but eventually you start figuring out what matters most to you. And if you’re in the middle of it right now, you will find your donor. 🤍 #SpermDonor #SingleMomByChoice #DonorConception #IVF
