greatest thing ever, but she really loved it, and the smile on her face is something I will always treasure!
Athletics: I played a lot of sports when I was young (baseball, basketball, soccer, swimming). I was on the high school swim team, which I really enjoyed. I ranked statewide in the backstroke.
Creative: My most creative thing is that I like to make things. I have always been good at drawing and painting and am great at clay and sculpture. My father taught me how to make things out of wood, and I still enjoy woodworking. At times I have thought of making a business out of selling wooden jewelry boxes, but I do not feel I have the time or resources to commit to it at this time.
Describe your goals and ambitions: I am working toward my real estate license. I like real estate because I can help people find the perfect homes for their families. Eventually, I would like to own my own real estate brokerage, which would provide financial security for me and the family I hope to have someday. Another big goal is to fall in love with a woman, get married, and have children together. I can’t wait to be a dad!
Explain your reasons for becoming a sperm donor: I grew up in a loving family, so I know how much it means to have that. Donating sperm is something I can do to help people build the kind of family that will spread a lot of happiness. Having a family has always been a big dream of mine, so I want to help others achieve that same dream.
What would you like to say to the people who receive your sperm? I am honored to have the opportunity to help you and your family. All I ask is that your child grows up with a lot of love and support to become the best person possible.
“What you looking at?” I hadn’t heard Melva coming up behind me.
“Just trying to pick the father of my unborn child.” I laugh. “Not really, just I was bored, so I looked up this site.”
“Lemme see.” Melva scoots me out of the way. I use the interruption as an excuse to get a cup of coffee from our tiny break room, which is really just a walk-in closet with a coffeemaker and minifridge. The coffee tastes gross from sitting too long, but I add sugar and cream. That helps.
Melva is still on the computer, muttering, “Maybe . . . he’s kind of . . . nah . . . too much asthma in the family.” She clicks the mouse and brings up a new donor.
“I like this one.” I reach over her for the mouse and click back to the wood-carving, family-loving, real estate guy.
INTERVIEWER IMPRESSIONS, Donor 4317
The first thing I noticed about Donor 4317 was his beautiful smile, which just lights up the room. He has dark hair and eyes, full lips, and strong cheekbones. His love for physical activity is evident in his lean, muscular build. His manner is very open and friendly but not overbearing. He was happy to answer my questions but made it clear that he was also a good listener. More than once he joked, “But enough about what I think. What do you think about me?”
Donor 4317 enjoys being active. He told me that one of the reasons he pursued real estate was because he couldn’t stand the thought of being stuck behind a desk all day. He was a competitive swimmer in high school and still loves the water. He has enjoyed scuba diving in the past, and he has just taken up windsurfing. Clearly, this is a man who loves a challenge and enjoys life.
Donor 4317 is an only child. He lives a short drive away from his parents and visits them once a week. He is very close to them but says he’s always wished for a big family and is glad that through donating sperm he can help others achieve that dream.
Melva is unimpressed. “Who’s Rivers Cuomo?”
“Dunno. Says he’s in Weezer.”
We do a quick image search on Rivers Cuomo, and my love for Donor 4317 fades, just a tiny bit. He’s okay looking, but no Twilight guy.
My cell phone rings. It’s Eric. Weird . . . I feel this stab of guilt, like I really had been checking
