What Does 'Only for Siblings' Mean?

Our donors give the greatest gift that can be given, and we are incredibly happy that we with the contribution of our donors help both couples and singles have their dream child. Therefore, some of our donors are marked with a tag on the website that says "Only for siblings". We have received some questions about this, which we would like to explain in more detail.


When a donor is marked ‘Only for siblings’, it means that units from this donor can only be purchased by customers who already have a child of or are pregnant with the help of units from this donor.


There can be two reasons why a donor is marked ‘Only for siblings’:


  • One reason is that the donor has reached the limit for the maximum number of pregnancies / families per donor for a given country,


  • Or he has reached our internal total limit of maximum 25 or 75 families.


When a customer buys a unit from a given donor, we immediately reserve a pregnancy with that donor on that customer in our system. This is the way we can keep track of the fact that there are not suddenly too many pregnancies with the same donor. However, if the customer does not obtain pregnancy with the purchased units(s), we will remove the reserved pregnancy again, and therefore it is possible that a donor may be reopened after being marked as ‘Only for siblings.’


We hope that this explanation will shed more light on the concept of "Only for siblings". You are very welcome to contact our customer service department at salg@borndonorbank.dk, if you have more questions about the subject.

Building a family is something most of us dream of, but an increasing number of couples experience challenging fertility issues, making it nearly impossible for them to have their own biological child. Katrine has PCOS, a hormonal disorder, and her husband has low sperm quality, so their odds were not very promising. Nevertheless, they managed to have a daughter together. Here is Katrine's story. "I am 30 years old, and my husband is older than me. Actually, significantly older. He is 56 years old, and he already has two children from a previous relationship. Therefore, he knew that he had very low sperm quality due to exposure to hazardous pesticides, and also because he is not young anymore. When he had his first two children, they went through a difficult fertility treatment, and he wasn't very eager to go through that again. When we met, I quickly made it clear that I wanted children, and he was probably a bit smitten, so he agreed to it, of course. I couldn't imagine anything else. However, when it came down to it, he struggled a bit to cope with everything. That's when I started thinking that we don't necessarily need to be a traditional family. Fortunately, there are many different ways to be a family nowadays."
