How many families can I help as a donor?

At Born, we have clear, global family limits that apply across countries. Your global family limit is either 25 or 75 families—regardless of where in the world your donations are used.

Most countries have their own limits on how many families a donor may help. However, there is no single, common international limit on the number of families. Therefore, in principle, a donor can help families in several different countries and thus, overall, more families than the limit set by any single country.

At Born, we’ve had global family limits from the very beginning. We’ve done this because we believe in responsible sperm donation and feel it’s our responsibility to establish clear guidelines and provide peace of mind—both for you as a donor and for the families you help create.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sperm Donation

How do I become a sperm donor?

The first step is to schedule a no-obligation consultation. During your first visit, you’ll also provide a semen sample so we can assess your sperm quality. If the sample meets the requirements, you’ll move on to the next stage of the approval process, which includes consultations, a medical exam, and blood and urine tests.

How old do I have to be to become a sperm donor?

You must be between 18 and 45 years old to apply to become a sperm donor with Born. In addition, you must meet our other requirements regarding, among other things, your health, medical history, and sperm quality.

Can I choose for myself what kind of sperm donor I want to be?

Yes. You can choose to be either an ID Release or a No ID Release donor. As an ID Release donor, a donor-conceived child may gain access to information about your identity once the child reaches the relevant age of legal capacity.

Once you've started donating, you cannot change your selection.

Will I be the father of the children born as a result of my donation?

No, you will not become the legal parent of the children born as a result of your donation. Your role is to be a sperm donor and help others have the opportunity to become parents.
