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 they knew nothing about- 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 encourage 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. All parties have chosen each other- and the parent's can talk about the donor as opposed to a number on a catalogue sheet. 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. Although the authorities would lead you to believe that men are donating through FSDW to remain anonymous- as this is the reason men are no longer donating through clinics- this simply isnt the case. As a child behaviour advisor- supporting children's right- this is a site that clearly promotes contact- even if a yearly update- or an email should there be health issues. Many are happy to meet the child- without parental rights and responsiblities. The fact that there are so many men donating- and women working with them - should make the authorities sit up and question what is happening. And ask themselves- other than knowing the sperm is 100% safe- what benefits are there from using a clinic?

This topic is a difficult one- and there is
no 'right' or 'wrong' answer - and it does need exploring.
Emma's original concern was that so many women seemed to be choosing one night stands, or making choices regarding 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. Many sign donor agreement documents- even though the law is so far behind that it is not clear if it would be recognised. There have been no legal cases involving FSDW donors or members however- with everyone so far sticking to their agreements.

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. Of course women / couples can ask their donor to donate through a clinic just for them- and know the sperm is 100% safe.
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. She has recently launched the 'Children Deserve to Know Where They Come From Campaign'. Although the authorities seem to think that donors are choosing this to be able to remain anonymous this simply isnt the case. They want a say in the process that they dont get at clinics. Infact the option to ask to remain anonymous is being removed completely- it isnt necessary- and with both parties meeting how could the donor remain anonymous - as in the traditional term.

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- less than most pay on coffee each month!- 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. Over 2000 successful pregnancies since 2004 with over 3000 registered sperm in the member's only
area ! Many of our testimonials shown on the site and subscription page. We hope you'll be sending us your success story too.
