It is your responsibility to check all health screening has been completed and gain advice regarding fertility law. Arrangements may then be made to either take your donor along to a fertility clinic for treatment, or to perform home insemination.

We recommend that members create their profile as a donor, co-parent or recipient, describing the kind of person or couple you would like to meet. The more information you add to your profile in the 'About me' and 'Interests' section, the more likely you will get noticed.

Do I need to meet the sperm donor?
Yes it is so important to meet the sperm donor and make sure all their details about themselves are correct. Meeting the donor also allows you to get to know a little about the person, ensuring that they are the type of person who is right for you. It is important to consider your personal safety when meeting with prospective sperm donors or co-parents. Initially meet in public areas and take a third person along. We do not permit anonymous donations on Pride Angel and do not advise that any of our users consider using shipped sperm unless it has been properly tested through a fertility clinic.
