Birth Registration for ID donors

tic1tic1 Junior Member Junior Member
I am curious to know why it is necessary to have the offspring of an ID dono,r social security number in order for the offspring to get information about the donor when they turn 18? I don't see why this is necessary as this is a very confidential process. Further, the doctor that performed the insemination could verify that the donor's semen was used. What would you use the offspring's social security number for? Will you use the social security number to track the offspring or for government purposes? I need clarity on this as I would like to register my daughter, yet I am skeptical of why you need the social security number.

    The offspring Social Security Number is used for internal identification verification purposes only. At registration we collect the child's DOB, SS# and name information that will be used to confirm the identity of the offspring if they contact the Cryobank for the donor information. Fairfax Cryobank will require verification when the child turns 18, which includes the verification of the SSN. By that time, many doctor's who are currently practicing will no longer be available to assist in the verification process.

    What if your child does not have a SSN yet? (As with my daughter, now 5 months old).
    I don't think we should have to go out of our way to rush and get a SSN for a baby just for this registration...

    Please register your child's birth with Fairfax Cryobank as soon as possible. Then you can update that registration once you receive the SS#.

    Ok - I had no idea i could submit it without the SSN. Can it be faxed in , or does it have to be mailed in?

    Please report your child's birth through the pregnancy report form. This is not a subsitute for the ID options paperwork, but it will keep our records of births for this donor current. http://www.fairfaxcryobank.com/PregnancyReport.shtml

    Then when you receive your child's SS# you can complete the ID Options registration and mail to the address below.

    "Please report your child's birth through the pregnancy report form"
    I already did that.
