Why is it important to us? As children conceived from anonymous donors grow into adulthood, many lament the fact that policies of anonymity cut them off from half of their genetic inheritance. They may hunger to know more about their donor’s story from family traits, to life histories, even whether he was musically inclined. Such a sense of belonging is taken for granted by most of us, but for these kids it can be sorely missed. Open identity sperm donation is intended to address this basic human desire, and that is why Seattle Sperm Bank specializes in Open ID donors.
