Being a sperm donor

What our donors say

I am convinced that your environment and upbringing define who you become as a person. That's why it's important to me that parents who want a baby out of love also have that opportunity. As a sperm donor, I'm able to fulfil the greatest wish of these people. For me, love is the most important aspect of raising a child!

// Martin

After talking to a friend who is a sperm donor, I decided to apply. I liked the thought of helping others. I did the initial tests and was accepted as a donor.

It's a privilege for me to be able to create life and make others happy.

I have been a sperm donor now for almost three years, and the thought of helping others is actually why I keep doing it. I am aware that someday, a donor child may contact me, and I look forward to talking to them and to giving them the answers, they are looking for.

// Nicolai

I've experienced first-hand what it does to a person to not be able to have the children you want. If I could assist in such a difficult situation, I would be happy to. Personally, I like the thought of passing on my genes and knowing that even if I never have children of my own, a part of me lives on. The money is a very nice bonus. I don’t consider it payment; it’s merely compensation.

// Christian

My wife and I had many difficulties having children. My wife had a fertility check and I did a sperm count analysis, and we had a talk about our options within the area of fertility treatment. If my sperm count were low, we would very possibly use a sperm donor.

It turned out that I didn’t have a low sperm count, and because of our talk I decided that I wanted to do my part to help others in that situation. It was not a hard decision to make, and I applied right away.


In my opinion, if you want help, you also have to help others. I'm proud and happy to be able to help people fulfil their dream.

// Simon
