Why Ethnicity Matters for Many Families

Choosing a donor based on race or ethnicity is deeply meaningful for many recipients. It can help families maintain cultural identity, support visual similarity between parent and child, or honour specific traditions or values.

Ethnicity may influence your decision for reasons such as:

• A desire for your child to resemble you or your partner
• Cultural or religious traditions
• Family identity and heritage
• Personal comfort and connection

There is no right or wrong reason. What matters is that you feel confident in the donor you choose.
