Confessions of a Cryokid

What happens when artificially created bundles of joy begin to speak for themselves? Revolt! I'm a product of an anonymous sperm donor and now that I'm an adult I'm searching for answers and speaking out. And this is my story...

Greetings...

Are you donor-conceived? Are you thinking about using a donor to conceive a child? Are you a parent of a donor-conceived child? Are you a former (or current) donor? Are you adopted and want to know more about the parallels between adoption and donor conception?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, I want to hear from you! I gladly welcome comments, questions, and concerns from all parties involved.

Journalists and researchers are also encouraged to contact me.

I encourage civilized discussion and debate, but please be respectful. TROLLS ARE NOT WELCOME AND WILL BE DELETED.

I'm always willing to hear new ideas of things to add to my blog, so feel free to send me suggestions.

Seeking Old Donor Lists

I am looking for donor lists from sperm banks and clinics from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. If you have a donor list that you would like to contribute, please email me! I am especially looking for donor lists pre-1990!!

I provide these old donor lists for parents and offspring as a service to help those who may not have a donor number to be able to narrow down what donors were donating when they were conceived. This is especially important for those conceived pre-1995, as after that many old donor lists can be accessed through the Internet Archive. These lists can also be vital for donors seeking their donor number (especially those from Fairfax Cryobank - b/c donors are not provided with their donor numbers!).

"The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government" ~ Thomas Jefferson
