About MyDonorFamily

MyDonorFamily was created by parents with donor children.

Like many other families, we know the questions that can arise over time: Are there other donor siblings out there? Do they look like us? Do they wonder about the same things?

We also know that this is sensitive. That is why we created MyDonorFamily as a safe and private place where donor offspring and parents can connect with others who share the same donor.

Today, MyDonorFamily is owned by Diers Fertility Clinic. The owner, Liza Diers, has donor children herself and knows firsthand many of the thoughts, emotions and questions that can follow donor conception — both for parents and for children growing up with curiosity about donor siblings, family similarities and genetic background.

Our background in fertility care has given us deep insight into donor conception, donor information, and the thoughts that often follow for both children and parents. We have seen how meaningful it can be when donor siblings find one another and gain a stronger sense of connection and identity.

We have experienced our own children mirroring themselves in their donor siblings. This has given them a sense of community with others from all around the world. Our children have also gained valuable knowledge about their own genetic identity. We want to give other donor children the opportunity to have the same experience.

Finding donor siblings can take time. Once frozen, donor eggs, embryos, and especially donor sperm can remain viable for many years, with cases of live birth resulting as long as 35 years after freezing. So, your donor silings may be much older or younger than you, and some may not be ready to connect until later in life. MyDonorFamily makes it possible to keep that door open over time — and we will let you know when a new donor sibling is knocking at the door of your donor group.
