经常问的问题
透過 Gene Pool 尋找關於捐贈者配對和共同育兒常見問題的解答。
什麼是 Gene Pool？
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.
Gene Pool 的適用對象是誰？
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.
您如何篩選捐贈者？
所有捐贈者都會填寫包含驗證身份、健康史、教育程度、家庭背景和個性資訊的個人資料。選擇分享基因數據的捐贈者會接受嚴重隱性疾病（囊性纖維化、鐮狀細胞、泰-薩克斯病等）的攜帶者篩檢。配對演算法會在介紹前標記基因不相容風險。
已知捐贈和匿名捐贈之間有何區別？
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.
使用 Gene Pool 是否需要基因檢測？
否。您可以建立個人資料並進行搜尋，無需上傳 DNA。當您確定了候選捐贈者或接受者時，攜帶者篩檢變得重要 - 該平台在法律/醫療協議之前鼓勵進行篩檢，但不會以此作為配對的條件。
共同育兒配對如何運作？
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.
我的資料是否安全且保密？
是。根據簽署的 BAA，Gene Pool 受 HIPAA 保護。基因資料經過加密並與個人資料分開儲存。您的捐贈者/接受者查詢是私密的 - 僅向您明確選擇發送訊息的人員披露。
法律協議怎麼辦？
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.
