Our Donor Catalog

At Seattle Sperm Bank, open identity donors have committed to at least one contact with the child, when the child reaches the age of 18. The contact must be initiated by the child; customer identities are confidential and are never released to sperm donors. There is no requirement that the donor commit to any sort of long-lasting relationship with the child, although the donor and the child may arrange to have further communication. All donors are required to go through a maturity evaluation by the sperm bank’s managing director and donor coordinator to ensure they understand the consequences of their decision to become an open identity donor.

Although prospective parents don’t get to meet a sperm donor before choosing to use his donated sperm, there is a lot to learn about donors through profile information. Often donors will list their reasons for donating along with detailed information about themselves. At Seattle Sperm Bank, we have found that open identity donors are usually willing to provide more detailed information such as baby photos and extended profile information to the sperm bank.

We have four different unit types here at Seattle Sperm Bank:

• IUI (intra-uterine insemination) or “washed”
• ICI (intra-cervical insemination) or “unwashed”
• IUI ART (intra-uterine insemination assisted reproductive technologies)
• ICI ART (intra-cervical insemination assisted reproductive technologies)

IUI are usually used for an insemination directly into the uterus with a physician.
ICI are typically used at home or if the doctor’s office wants to wash the sample first.
ART units are often used for IVF as they have fewer sperm cells than the regular units.

Your doctor can advise you as to which type you will need for your given procedure.

Our $50 All Access Pass includes full access to all donors’ profile materials.  This includes the donor’s Extended Profile, Childhood Photo, Audio Interview, Keirsey Personality Test, Staff Impression, and Genetic Test Results.

Seattle Sperm Bank offers a way to easily search our donor database by genetic test. This tool lets you see all the donors who have tested negative for any singular, or combination of, different genetic diseases.

Example of how it works:

If you are a known carrier for Pendred Syndrome, for example, you can select that condition from the list using the “Find Match” button at the top of the donor search tool. The resulting matches would then only show donors who were tested and found to be negative for Pendred Syndrome. Plus, this tool can be used with our other donor search criteria to help you find the best matches for you.

If your selected donor(s) has no available inventory of the unit type (IUI, ICI, ART) that you are looking for, please call us at 206-588-1484 or email cs@seattlespermbank.com to inquire about inventory status.

We can also put you on the waitlist for your donor by reserving a maximum of five units that are in quarantine. You can only be on the waitlist for one donor at a time. You cannot reserve units that are available for purchase. When the units are released from quarantine, you will be notified via email and be able to purchase them before the units are made available to the general public. Please call or email to be placed on the waitlist.

We strongly encourage our clients to purchase additional units of their favorite donor and place them into storage. We cannot guarantee that your donor will be available in the future when you are ready to inseminate.
