Rainbow Flag Health Services

Rainbow Flag Health Services claims to be the only sperm bank in North America to actively recruit gay and bisexual sperm donors, the only sperm bank to tell the mother who the donor is when the child is three months old and ask that the mother contact the donor by the child’s first birthday.

Rainbow Flag believes that a child’s human rights are paramount, and do not offer their services to those who intend to circumcise their male children or to genitally mutilate their female children.

The San Francisco Bay Area has several sperm banks that have good, informative web sites, and many more that are just listings.

Since there is competition between sperm banks for female customers, clinics have chosen to focus their services on various populations.

Essentially, sperm banks solicit sperm donors, require them to pass a series of tests and screenings and then store the sperm until a woman seeking to become pregnant via artificial insemination purchases it. Beyond this point the sperm banks differ in their mission.

Some are university hospitals and are essentially research oriented. Others serve the gay and lesbian community, and still others have special agendas to pursue. Some offer complete fertility treatments for men and women, others are mail order houses and the insemination part is up to the customer.

The burden of research is on the donor and the woman to find a service that meets their health, financial and emotional needs as well as their politics.
