Disclaimer: medical and legal information

KnownDonordoesn't give medical advice, fertility treatment, sexual-health or genetic counselling, or legal advice. Our guides are general information about the law in England, written carefully and dated, but they are not a substitute for advice about your situation.

Information in profiles (for example test results someone says they have) comes from members and is not checked by us unless we say so.

The law on donor conception, parenthood and child maintenance is different from the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, and parts of family law differ in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Before you make any arrangement, speak to a family law solicitor and consider a licensed fertility clinic. The HFEA publishes free, impartial information.
