Hi cchipps, I’m Kezza and I am a donor conceived child in Australia. I was born in July 1982 and unfortunately all of the records of my donor (non-identifying only) were destroyed after 15 years. I know that he is B positive blood type and would most likely have been a medical student or researcher at the Queensland Fertility Group or one of the universities in Brisbane. I’m 164cm (5’4″), medium build, brown hair and blue/green eyes. It would be great to have some medical history and also to know if there are any possible siblings out there.
Hi Kenza,
I know several Australians through the online donor community, mostly adult donor conceived but I also have corresponded with a former egg donor and sperm donor. I really have to get myself and daughter’s DNA done. I think that is the only way to search.
Have you had your DNA tested yet?
Chris
I actually have the DNA test at home to do – just need to complete and send it back. I think it’s Family Tree DNA and they currently have a sale on their testing kits. Mine was about $100. Hopefully once those results are listed I might have some luck 🙂
Very cool! Also check out 23andme.com and Ancestry.com. It’s important to be on all three to increase your visibility. If you do 23andme first you can transfer your autosomal data (downloadable from 23andme) to FTDNA for half the price of a test. Takes 5 weeks or so to get results. Keep us updated!
