I would first suggest that you carefully read our criteria page which details exactly what our current clients are looking for. As of the writing of this blog the couple we are currently representing is looking for the following in a donor:
Caucasian
Attractive
Brunette
Height 5'3 to 5'6
18-28 years old
Proven Intelligence
No genetic medical problems
After reviewing the criteria you may feel like you are a good match in most areas but you are a bit taller than the range listed or you are not sure what proven intelligence means. You will see that many of the criteria listed on our search page link to more detailed descriptions. In the descriptions you will find which characteristics our clients are flexible on. For example, for this particular search the clients hope to find a donor who is no taller than 5'6 but they are flexible about this and will not let a donor's height keep them from considering an otherwise perfect candidate. On the other hand, you will learn from reading about the age criteria that our office does not work with donors over age 31. While we continually receive emails from donors who feel we are discriminating with this age limit or who ask us to make an exception, this is actually a medical issue and most of the doctors we work with set these or similar guidelines.
If you fall within the range of what our clients are looking for, we would strongly encourage you to apply. While you may not be selected for this search, you can easily save a copy of your application to your computer and you will be ready to submit your profile again the next time a promising search arises.
Sometimes potential donors read the compensation amount and decide they are going to apply even though they are not close to what the family is looking for. While you are welcome to do this, please consider that there are usually numerous qualified applicants applying for each search and factor that into your decision about whether or not to fill out the application.
That being said, I would definitely encourage those potential donors who match most of our criteria to submit an application. If you feel uncertain about whether or not any particular search would be a good match for you, you are always welcome to contact us with any questions. Please be assured that we represent wonderful clients who are extremely grateful to all the potential donors who take the time to apply to their search.
