Fertility clinics for sperm donation
There is a thorough screening and testing process by medical professionals on donor sperm which includes a six month quarantine period for the sperm before it can be released for fertility treatment.
Choosing to help women conceive through a clinic means the donor will have no legal rights or responsibilities as a parent. Any fertility treatment you have and any resulting children born from that treatment will be kept on the governing body register.
As a donor you will be anonymous until your child reaches 18 years of age he or she will have rights to access the information on the donor register and can gain information such as the name and address of the donor. The governing body will determine the maximum amount of donations a sperm donor will be able to provide for donor conception.
What if I donate through a licensed clinic?
The donor would have no legal rights or responsibilities as a parent. However when any resulting child born through sperm donation at a clinic reaches 18 years of age, he or she will have the legal right to gain information on their donor and indeed any other children born as a result of that donor.
