Donor Sibling Registry
Started by mother/son team Wendy and Ryan Kramer, the Donor Sibling Registry is the first and only worldwide Sibling Registry created to help facilitate the connection of genetic families created by donor insemination. The focus of the DSR is to assist individuals conceived as a result of sperm, egg or embryo donation who are seeking to make mutually desired contact with others with whom they share genetic ties. Active membership in the Donor Sibling Registry is currently at 7034 with matches between more than 2710 half-siblings (and/or donors) facilitated. The site also has a discussion forum, books and resources, and an inspiring catalog of success stories.

The non-profit organization, Donor Offspring Health, has a free donor gamete health registry that allows sperm and egg donors, donor conceived people, and donor parents to share and research health information related to donor offspring.
Donor Offspring Health provides the following benefits:
Donors can anonymously enter their own health information.
Individuals can look up health information related to donors they are considering using.
Parents and offspring can anonymously share health information with others who have used the same donor to find any health similarities.
Having the health history of biological half siblings or donors can be very helpful to share with doctors, when a child is receiving medical care, in terms of determining how to treat certain illnesses or when a specific genetic disease is suspected.
It is the only free resource on the web focused primarily on the discussion of health issues related to specific sperm or egg donors, donor offspring, and those considering donors to conceive their next child. Sign up for their discussion group! www.DonorOffspringHealth.com
