What is a Sperm Donor?
A sperm donor is a man willing to donate his sperm to help a woman become pregnant. For many women that essential missing piece of the jigsaw in their journey to become a mother takes on sacred search. When we launched Co-parentmatch.com in 2007 most women looking to become pregnant using a sperm donor would have had only one option which was to visit a sperm bank, purchase sperm and get pregnant by artificial insemination never knowing the identity of the man who shares half of their child’s genes.
Co-parentmatch.com changed the face of sperm donation in that we enabled women looking for a sperm donor to meet their donor face to face. With this concept came an increase in home insemination as an option to achieve pregnancy. Sperm banks now offer known sperm donor schemes whereby you can bring along a sperm donor that you have met online and arrange for artificial insemination.
