About FSDW
(Free Sperm Donations Worldwide)
Emma created FSDW (originally Sperm Donors Worldwide) in 2004. Although controversial, Emma felt that many
women and couples who wanted desperately to be a
parent-
and would make wonderful parents!-
were
limited in
their
choices, because
of marital status, sexuality, fertility
issues & more.
She didn't feel this was fair.
FSDW offers choices- and not just for women- it is also proving successful for men wanting to
co-parent without romance!
With the abolishment of sperm donor anonymity within the
UK at
that time there was a decrease in available sperm.
Emma knew
that many men still wanted to help- but without
the knowledge
that a child - or children- could come
knocking on their door at
aged 18. She felt that there had to
be an alternative- and
especially
as women and infertile couples
were finding other
ways to
become pregnant that were risky and often a recipe
for disaster. The
safe, socially
acceptable route
- ie through a clinic
- was
often
unavailable
- or the process too costly,
intrusive or
lengthy-
for many women and couples.
She decided, therefore, to create FSDW -as a way
for men to be able to make choices with regards to sperm donation-
ie who they donate to and on what terms. She wanted to offer
a place for kind, honourable men to connect with women, and to
make their own arrangements, and to ncourage all parties to
consider the best interest of the child. With IVF the child will not
know his or her father- until the age of 18. While that may work
for many- it isn't the best arrangement for others. Through
FSDW
many donors play an 'uncle' type role, and some would
even wish to co-parent. Is this not of benefit to the child in many
situations? A child born from sperm donation - where neither
parent or child know anything about each other - can cause all
sorts of emotionally problems.
This topic is a difficult one- and there is
no 'right' or 'wrong' answer. However Emma's
concern was that so many women seemed to
be choosing one night stands, or making choices egarding pregnancy- without a discussion
with the man involved, before the conception
occurred. Men could find themselves being
chased for child support - whereas the
FSDW donors and women / couples who use
this service tend to really want this- and take
a much more responsible, educated approach
to the matter. Both parties are in
agreement BEFORE conception - reducing
potential problems in the future.
Of course there are more risks when choosing this route
- legal issues (discussed on our free info pages) health
issues
(HIV can fail to show up in a test- and show up six months
later
- which is why frozen sperm is quarantined) and more. So,
as well as offering people choices, Emma has tried to offer
guidance and support, so that people can at least reduce the risks
as best they can if they decide they want to choose this route.
Information about sperm donor testing is available, donor
agreement documents available, including information about
getting pregnant as quickly as possible- not just for the mother's
sake- but also so that time is not wasted on the part of the donor.
These donors all register to donate without charge, AI only, and
so it is the responsibility of the recipients to do her part to
facilitate a quick conception.
Emma personally replies to all emails- and offers
advice regarding meeting the emotional needs of
children born form sperm donation- when and how to
tell them, what issues they should consider and work
through and more.
This all takes alot of time and effort - which is why, in part,
subscription fees are charged. However she strongly believes
that
if this was offered for free- the connections part of this
service-
then women who have not really considered this fully,
might
decide to
'just give it a go'. Charging a membership fee
won't
stop that-
but it will make some women stop and
think before
proceeding.
Membership fees are in line with dating site membership fees- even
though the potential rewards are arguable worth far more. Of
course sperm donors aren't charged- why would we charge these
amazing men- who are helping so many women and infertile couples
fulfil their dream of being a parent? However FSDW donors- and
women- are obliged to conduct themselves honourably- and to
abide by the behaviour code. We have such a supportive members
area- with blogs posted etc- that when members post anything in the slightest bit offensive, or donors seem to suggest there are looking
for sex, or payment, they are immediately bumped off. As Emma
moderates the site herself, standards are high- and this is why FSDW remains the most popular private sperm donation connections
web site on the internet. Almost 1800 successful pregnancies since
2004 with over 3000 registered sperm in the member's only area ! Many of our testimonials
shown below. We hope you'll be sending us your success story too.
