Many clients are interested in seeing photos of sperm donors. Sometimes when selecting a donor, or sometimes just for curiosity’s sake, especially if they have used that donor in the past. It’s natural to wonder “what does my donor look like?”
CLI offers a variety of photo products:
Childhood Photos: Here at CLI, childhood photos are available on most of our donors and downloading is FREE! Our donors provide a childhood photo between the ages of 6 months to 6 years for their profiles. Childhood photos can be ordered on the donor’s profile page, within the donor search.
Lifetime Photos: Lifetime photos which include adult photos are available on a select group of our donors. Donors provide a series of photos from infancy through adulthood. Donors who have Lifetime photos available will be indicated as such on the donor search with a camera icon. For more information about this exciting service, click here.
Photo Matching: Once you’ve narrowed your donor search down to eight potential donors you may want to request a Photo Match. Simply send us a photo (by mail or e-mail) of the individual you would hope for your offspring to resemble as well as a Photo Match Request Form. Our staff will then rank the resemblance of the donors you’ve selected. There is a fee for this service.
Donor Silhouettes: A profile photograph of the donor has been shaded to show only the outline of his side profile. This is a great way to view the adult donor’s physical characteristics, yet keep him anonymous. Read more about our silhouettes here.
