"My passion for family building comes from my deeply personal experience having my daughter, Kaitlin, through gestational surrogacy. My desire to help others led me to create and build A Perfect Match into one of the most professional and ethical egg donor and surrogacy agencies in the U.S. Coast to Coast Sperm Donation is a natural progression into a space that meets the needs of those building their family but is ripe for transformation. We need to change the narrative around sperm donation and create families based on transparency, connection, and ethics."

Types of donation.
Coast to Coast Sperm Donation arranges directed sperm donor matching between donors and recipient families focused on transparency, mutual connection and a healthy outcome for all. We offer three types of sperm donation arrangements to meet the needs of donors and recipients. At a minimum, all donors agree to release their identity to donor conceived persons at 18. Many are very open to connecting before that time.
Identity-Release
All Coast to Coast Sperm Donation donors agree to Identity Release to be part of our program. In this situation, donors agree to release their identity to adult donor-conceived persons. While intended parents and donors do not share personal information when matching, they may use an alias or id number to identify each other in the legal agreements. Donors agree to provide regular medical updates.
Semi or Limited Identified
Semi identified donation is when intended parents and the donor agree to remain non-identified at the time of match but will share limited personal contact and identifying information once the donation is completed or there is a known pregnancy/birth. Donors will continue to provide medical updates and will be available for identity release to donor-conceived people of legal age.
Identified
Identified Donation is between parties who may not know one another previously but agree to share some or all identifying and contact information with one another during the process. This generally means full names are shared. Many donors are very happy to meet with recipient families and agree to future contact and to provide regular medical updates.

Frequently asked questions.
Becoming a sperm donor requires careful consideration. Here are some common questions about the sperm donation process to help you understand what is involved in becoming a donor.
At Coast to Coast Sperm Donation, our focus is on the well-being of donor-conceived individuals, guided by ethics, transparency, and the potential for meaningful connections between donors, recipients, and the children. We believe anonymity isn’t possible, so all donors must agree to identity release when the child turns 18. However, ID release doesn’t obligate a donor to meet or support the child. Unlike other banks, we limit matches to 6 families worldwide. This ensures a lower number of genetically related children giving families more control over family creation.
Sperm banks follow the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) guideline of 25 births per 800,000 people. In the U.S. alone there are more than 300 million people and this guideline could result in dozens of unknown genetically related children from one donor. In fact, some donors have discovered they have over 100 genetic offspring! Donor conceived persons have concerns about the potential for genetic-related individuals unknowingly meeting or forming relationships, and they have advocacy groups seeking to lower limits. We agree with their concerns. We want to change this. Sperm banks can and do sell to more than 25 family units in the U.S. and many ship all over the world but Coast to Coast proactively limits matches to 6 family units per donor worldwide. We track every direct match or sale of vials and will stop distributing when our limit of 6 family units is met. It’s just good practice, for everyone.
We don’t give legal advice; however, the consensus is that if the donation is completed through a physician, and the State’s legal statutes are followed, a donor should not be considered a legal parent or have a financial responsibility for a child born through his donation. We want to make sure our donors are protected, so we offer each donor legal representation to go over the terms of the donation agreement. We do, however, believe there is a level of personal responsibility involved in donation, and it is in the best interest of the donor conceived person that every donor update his medical, genetic, and psychological information annually or whenever there is a change that could affect a child. We also believe every donor should agree to release his identity to a child at age 18, if the child requests the information and if the child can prove the genetic connection. This does not mean a donor is obligated to have a relationship with that child.
Simply put, anonymity is no longer guaranteed to any donor. In this day of DNA testing, social media, and facial recognition software, a donor may be found despite the intent of the parties. Any person who doesn’t want to have his identity released to the donor conceived person should not be a donor. We encourage our donors to understand what identity release means and to control the narrative of ‘when’ his information will be released to the donor conceived person. We require our donors to agree to sign a release of identity agreement, which means when the child reaches age 18, he/she provides proof of the DNA connection and makes the request for the release of information then the donor’s identity will be released.
No, there is never an obligation for a donor to meet a child. We believe it is in the best interest of anyone conceived through donation to have access to information about the donor’s medical, genetic and psychological status, so we do ask for annual updates until the child reaches the age of 18. Studies show there is a better and healthier outcome for the donor conceived person when they have this information, and a meeting with the donor can be mutually beneficial for all, but we allow the parties to decide this between themselves.
