Fertility First has established FertilityFirstKinnect, a program that enables same-donor families created through Fertility First to connect with one another, should they wish to do so.
Discover shared stories and support, with privacy and guidance from our caring team.
FertilityFirstKinnect enables parents who have had children using donor bank sperm or eggs through Fertility First to connect with other families who have used the same donor. The program allows donor half-siblings to find and build relationships with one another.
Submit an enquiry using the form below to express your interest in FertilityFirstKinnect.
Once you've submitted your registration form, our administration team will contact you to arrange a counselling session.
Choosing to connect with another family who has used the same donor involves many considerations and potential outcomes that require careful thought. Counselling provides an opportunity to explore these aspects with a qualified professional who can guide you through the decision-making process.
After your counselling session, you'll be able to sign a consent form to register your preferred contact details. These can then be shared with other families who have used the same donor.
If and when there is a match:
Any contact following the sharing of information will be at the discretion of the families involved. Fertility First does not facilitate these ongoing connections.
If you need additional support, Fertility First can refer you to external counsellors. Please note that our counsellors are unable to provide ongoing services.
There is no charge for this service unless your treatment occurred at a non-Fertility First clinic.
Your information will be held by Fertility First Pty Limited. Only the information you have agreed to share will be disclosed to individuals with whom you are matched.
