[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The FDA doesn’t allow men who’ve had sex with other men within the past five years to be unknown sperm donors. We ran into this with our known donor — for known donors, the recipients can just sign a waiver saying we accept that the sperm doesn’t meet FDA requirements. But I don’t think you can do this for anonymous donations. I don’t know how The Sperm Bank of California gets around. It’s frustrating. We had to switch to a sperm bank donor for unrelated reasons, and we would much rather choose a queer donor if we could. (It’s a little scary to think there’s some possibility that an unknown donor could turn out to be homophobic if our kiddo contacted him at 18, though presumably most guys realize that lesbians are a big market for sperm donation.)[/quote] So disappointing. One of the main reasons we went with a friend instead of giving money to these terrible banks. [/quote]
