Questions fréquemment posées

Gene Pool is a platform connecting sperm donors with intended recipients and co-parents. We help people building non-traditional families find compatible partners - verified, screened, and matched on genetic + lifestyle compatibility rather than romantic chemistry.

Single women and same-sex couples seeking sperm donors. Sperm donors looking for recipients (known-donor arrangements). People interested in platonic co-parenting partnerships. We support all family configurations.

All donors complete a profile with verified identity, health history, education, family background, and personality information. If people choose to share DNA data, the platform uses it as compatibility context before introductions.

Known-donor arrangements (the focus of Gene Pool) mean both parties know each other's identity and may have an ongoing relationship - anything from annual updates to active co-parenting. Anonymous donation through clinics is a different model not directly supported here, though clinic-mediated cycles can use Gene Pool donors.

No. You can create a profile and search without uploading DNA. DNA data is optional and is used only when you want extra compatibility context.

Co-parenting matches go beyond donor selection - they pair people who want to actively share parenting responsibilities without being romantically partnered. Compatibility looks at parenting philosophy, location proximity, financial stability, family-of-origin support, and long-term agreement on schooling, religion, and health decisions.

Oui. Gene Pool est couvert par la loi HIPAA en vertu d'un BAA signé. Les données génétiques sont cryptées et stockées séparément des informations de profil. Vos demandes de renseignements sur les donneurs/receveurs sont privées - elles ne sont révélées qu'aux personnes à qui vous choisissez explicitement d'envoyer un message.

Gene Pool doesn't draft legal agreements but strongly recommends a known-donor or co-parenting agreement (jurisdiction-dependent) be in place before conception. We can refer to family-law attorneys experienced in donor agreements.
