At ReproMed, we understand how the process of choosing a donor can be very stressful. However, there are three easy steps that can be taken to alleviate some of the anxiety. Having helped thousands of recipients successfully choose donors, we know that the more information you have about potential donors the more confident you are in your choice. Extensive Information is Crucial to Informed Consent!
Step 1 - Semen Donor Catalog
We have compiled a complete list of all available donors which provides the recipient with a description of the donor's physical characteristics, the maternal and paternal ancestry, education, occupation, and special interests. Click here to access the catalogue.
Step 2 - D.A.D.S.™ Portfolios / Special Links
Once you have determined the donors of interest from the catalogue, you can now begin to research your choices more in-depth. The Additional Information section online is an easy and convenient way to access donor information.
For Canadian Donor Specimens processed by ReproMed:
ReproMed can provide you with a Donor Portfolio for each selection. This is offered free of charge and provides more information about the donor such as physical features, family history, educational history, skills & abilities, preferences, personality traits, anatomical features, and medical history. Click here to view a sample. Some donors also have a Temperament Report, click here to view a sample.
For Imported Donor Specimens:
You can visit www.xytex.com/repromed and view all Canadian Compliant Donors. Here you can sign up and register for either Basic (no charge) or Enhanced (charge) to learn more about the donor. Details that can be obtained include: child photograph, current photograph, Photo Scan, MP3 Audio File, Keirsey profile, genetic history, family history, and an essay by the donor. Note: some of these services are chargeable to access.
Step 3 - D.A.D.S.™ Consultations
This personal one-on-one consultation has been designed to help you make the right choice in meeting your offspring expectations. Here are the components included in the consultation.

The ability to answer specific questions recipients have about the specific donors.
-
An open conversation to define what expectations the recipient is looking their offspring to be.

-
Narrow the list to 2 or 3 selections and explore more in-depth the Donor Portfolios for each.
