The motivations of donor-conceived adults for seeking information about, and contact with, sperm donors.

Research Question: How do the demographic characteristics, mental health experiences and disclosure experiences of donor-conceived adults shape motivations for seeking information about their sperm donors, contact with them, or both?

Design: Sixty-nine Australian adults who conceived through sperm donors completed an online survey. Uniquely, information and contact seeking were investigated as two distinct concepts.

Results: Participants reported a variety of demographic, mental health, disclosure and discovery experiences.
