All donors are required to go through a maturity evaluation by the sperm bank’s managing director and donor coordinator. This is to ensure they understand the parameters and responsibilities associated with their decision of becoming an Open Identity Donor. Once the paperwork is submitted to Seattle Sperm Bank, an Open ID donor cannot switch to become an anonymous donor. Sperm donors have no legal rights, responsibilities or obligations to any children born through the use of their semen. There is no requirement that the donor commit to a long-term relationship with the child, although he and the child may arrange to have further communication.
