[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, they will not unless you are using the person as a known donor. My wife and I are a same sex couple and our gay friend is also the donor for our children. We worked with Fairfax Cryobank, and there were a lot of hoops he had to jump through and red tape we had to deal with. Specifically, he had to go through STD testing when he first started donating, then his sperm had to sit in quarantine for six months and he was tested again. Once the tests all came back clear, we could use the sperm. It became quite expensive, but this donor was our pick for many reasons and I'm glad we chose the path we did. [/quote] When I was looking into this, it was my understanding that the banks do extensive testing and quarantine for any known donor (gay or not) that is not the spouse/partner. Sexual orientation wasn't the issue, but the fact that the source was external to the relationship.[/quote]
