Exactly what is the “Identity Disclosure” program at Xytex?
A. When a recipient has utilized a donor who is Identity Disclosure, the recipient must have a signed agreement on file at Xytex. When a child is born, the child must be registered on the Xytex database so that future verification can be made. At age 18, the registered child can contact Xytex for the release of identifying information on their Identity Disclosure donor. The donor has agreed to allow Xytex to release this information, but has not made a commitment beyond this. Xytex will initiate the contact and provide the offspring with a method to contact the donor. Xytex cannot guarantee that the donor can ever be found or that he will be able to accommodate the wishes of the offspring. As parents of a child of an Identity Disclosure donor, it is important that the information is understood so that the child does not grow up with unrealistic expectations of this future contact. Please refer to the Identity Disclosure Consent and Release Form for further details.
