<h2><span class="display-3">Donor identity: ID Release or Non-ID Release </span></h2>
<p>There are many ways to refine your search for a <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/find-donor/search-sperm-donors/">sperm donor</a> or an <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/find-donor/search-for-egg-donor/">egg donor</a>. Determining the type of donor ID and profile you want is a great place to start.</p>
<p>Cryos offers two types of donors: ID Release (Non-anonymous) and Non-ID Release (Anonymous).</p>
<p><a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/how-to/how-to-choose-a-donor/id-release-or-non-id-release-donors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ID Release donors</a> identifying information is made available to your donor child, once the child has reached the age of 18. Many individuals choose an ID Release donor, so that their child can connect to their heritage, if they choose to, in the future.</p>
<p><a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/how-to/how-to-choose-a-donor/id-release-or-non-id-release-donors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Non-ID Release donors</a> will never have their identity released. Choosing a Non-ID Release donor means that the parent and child agree to never contact the donor.</p>
<h2><span class="display-3">Profile type: Basic or Extended</span></h2>
<p>Cryos offers two types of donor profiles: Basic and Extended.</p>
<p><a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/how-to/how-to-choose-a-donor/basic-or-extended-profile/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Basic Donor Profiles</a> provide only the most critical information about the donor, such as; race, ethnicity, eye color, hair color, height, weight, blood type, profession and level of education.</p>
<p><a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/how-to/how-to-choose-a-donor/basic-or-extended-profile/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Extended Donor Profiles</a> provide the basic characteristics with additional information about the donor&rsquo;s interests, personality, health and family history. In addition, extended profiles offer photos, handwritten greeting, a voice sample, staff impressions, and emotional intelligence (EQ test) results.</p>
<p>Both basic and extended donor profiles will provide testing results required by the FDA which will be found in the donor&rsquo;s summary of records. Additionally, you are able to view each donor's "stock" available, no matter the type of profile. The donor's "stock" is the number of available straws a donor has available for purchase. This available resource sets Cryos apart from many other cryobanks and is quality you will surely appreciate.</p>
<h2><span class="display-3">Personality traits and donor characteristics</span></h2>
<p>Looking at a donor&rsquo;s personality traits and physical characteristics will help you narrow down your search. With our free donor search, it is easy to find a donor that resembles personal features of you or your spouse's family by appearance, heritage, or personality traits.</p>
<p>In addition, <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/how-to/how-to-choose-a-donor/">choosing a donor</a> with an extended profile provides you with even more detailed information to help you match the personality and characteristics you are looking for.</p>
<h3><span class="display-4" style="font-size: 15px; font-weight: 600;">Appearance&nbsp;</span></h3>
<p>Are there physical characteristics that you would like your child to have? Baby photos and photos of donors as adults, provide unique details of their appearance such as their smile, facial shape, eye color or hair texture to provide you with a diverse range of donors.</p>
<p>What is the donor&rsquo;s background? Where do they come from and what traditions do they have? Our free donor search gives you the opportunity to choose a donor with similar backgrounds and family history. Sometimes looking at the donor&rsquo;s family traditions and personal views can form an amazing connection for you and your future child.</p>
<h3><span class="display-4">Personality traits&nbsp;</span></h3>
<p>How would you describe yourself? Energetic, funny or passionate? What are your hobbies? For instance, do you play sports or love arts and crafts? You may consider selecting your favorite donor based on the similarities you both share with personality traits or hobbies.</p>
<p>In contrast, others may want to choose the exact opposite traits. If you love arts and struggled with sports maybe you would like to choose an athletic donor to contrast your strengths. Personality traits are a great way to narrow down your sperm donor or egg donor search to help you find the just right donor for you.</p>
