About Our Donors Donor
Procurement, Screening, Too often, individuals equate donating semen with blood or plasma donation. We want to assure you that this is far from the truth. RML semen donors are selected from carefully screened and tested men who have undergone a rigorous program of evaluation prior to acceptance into our donor program. In fact, less than 5% of all applicants are accepted. Our donors come from all walks of life and have a variety of interests, values and skills. The Toronto area provides a great source of highly qualified candidates. Most importantly, they are very bright, intelligent and personable people - the type of individuals you would want to be your friend, neighbor or associate. The Most Asked Questions About Our Donors: How Does RML Find Donor Applicants? Our donors come from a wide variety of sources including; direct referrals from current donors, discreet advertisements in professional periodicals and from our many media (TV, radio, newspaper and magazine articles) exposures. Donors are also recruited from local areas which offer a high quality of life. Why Does An Individual Become A Donor? Due to the high awareness of the infertility dilemma, many men, most of whom are married with kids of their own, become donors to help infertile couples have children of their own. How Well Does RML Staff Know The Donors? Prior to acceptance into RML's donor semen program, our staff becomes quite familiar with our donors through regular, weekly interactions and discussions, over a period of more than 6 months, including an average of 30 appointments and 7 blood draws. Throughout this time, it is natural for the donor to become a part of the RML family and take on a caring, sincere desire to help others overcome infertility. What's The Average Age Of Our Donors? 31 years of age. What donor information is available to patients? We provide non-identifying information about our donors free of charge through our Semen Donor Catalogue. For a nominal fee you may choose a very detailed five page computer, generated D.A.D.S.TM - Donor Portfolios. What Are The Educational Requirements For Donors? All of our donors are high school graduates with the vast majority having a university education. Our Semen Donor Catalog, D.A.D.S.TM Donor Portfolios offer specific levels of education. A majority of our donors are professional men.
