SSB (Dis) Connects The Donor Sibling Registry welcomes all families affected by the upcoming closure of Seattle Sperm Bank Connects this coming January 2027. Since 2000, we've provided a permanent, secure, independent platform for donor-conceived people, parents, and donors from facilities worldwide to safely find and connect with biological relatives. In their official statement posted to the platform, Seattle Sperm Bank cited a few specific reasons behind the decision: Evolving Data Privacy Laws: They said navigating complex, shifting global privacy requirements (such as GDPR in Europe) made maintaining an in-house communication platform difficult. (The DSR is GDPR compliant). Resource Reallocation: The sperm bank stated they want to retire the forum to focus their internal staff and technological resources entirely on core clinical operations. (Profit) Security Standards: They noted that protecting the sensitive personal data shared on their site was no longer viable under their existing infrastructure. (The DSR spends a lot of time and money to ensure that our site is secure.) We invite Seattle Sperm Bank families to create their posting or search our database of over 106,000 members to maintain or build both sibling and donor connections (without fear of commercial platform shutdowns).

Open since 1975. Offices in Augusta, Atlanta, and Newmarket, Ontario-supplier for Genesis Fertility Center in Canada (see that list also). According to Outreach Health Services' website (in 2008), donorspermohs.com, Outreach Health Services is the Canadian distributor for Xytex Corporation. Donor numbers should have three letters in front of the number (codes Xytex uses for hair and eye combinations, blood type, and height--first letter is for coloring: Dark Hair/Dark Eyes is A, Dark Hair/Light Eyes is B, Light Hair/Light Eyes is C, Light Hair/Dark Eyes is D, African American Donors are E. Second letter is for blood type: O+ is F, A+ is G, B+ is H, AB+ is I, Rh- is J. Third letter is height: Under 5'7" is K, 5;7" to 5'11" is L, 6' to 6'4" is M, 6'5" and taller is N). Numbers are only used one time with the donors so if you know the number part, you are most likely a match to that number if it is listed with letters (or different letters than what you have). Older donor numbers may have a D in front of them, but those are listed on here without the D. Their three letter code for the earlier donor numbers may have been different or may have been changed at one point in time by Xytex. (for example, an older number that used to be coded BFK was later changed to CGL).
