The Donor Sibling Registry: Educating, Connecting and Supporting Donor Families

Dsr As LGBTQ people, our families are created in a variety of ways. For those of us who have either chosen to have children from donor semen or eggs, or for those of us who were ourselves conceived through using a donor, the Donor Sibling Registy may be an interesting resource.

The DSR provides:

  • Donor-conceived people the opportunity to locate critical medical and health information from their biological donors
  • Donors the chance to anonymously or openly share family, ancestral and genetic details with their offspring
  • A place for mutually desired communication to begin for donors and their donor-conceived offspring
  • A site for donor-conceived half-siblings to connect and extend their family ties
  • A comprehensive, secure and positive environment of information, studies, support, and resources for parents and their children
  • Advocacy for the rights of donor-conceived people and education about the issues, and challenges of their community
  • The opportunity to connect without even having a donor ID or number
