So, You Want Some Donor Sperm… – Family and Matrimonial

Sperm donation contributes to around 2,500 babies each year in
the UK. However, the path to accessing sperm for conceiving a child
can be especially complicated. How one gets hold of it is largely
determined by the relationship they have, or want to have, with the
donor.

Every route to conception through sperm donation is deeply
personal, with the final decision depending on answers to various
logistical, financial and legal questions.

Russell-Cooke associate Jade Quirke comments in Refinery29 that,
as long as the intended parents and the donor have the appropriate
and open conversations about future arrangements in the early
stages of the process, there is no ‘wrong’ path. Only the
parents and the donor will know what is right for them.
