They have a great selection of donors but I found it quite hard to get the information I needed out of them via email and phone and I found the communication quite cold.

Similarly to what others have related, my doctor wouldn't sign the form for home insemination because of the wording. And, like other reviewers, I felt disappointed that I invested substantial time and energy looking through profiles and picking a donor from this site, not to mention paying for a 3-month subscription for full access to the profiles. I picked Fairfax over other cryobanks because I thought they provided the best selection and gave the most comprehensive information about those donors. But at this point it seems to have been a dead end. I agree with the others who said be sure you have a doctor on board before going down this road.

My wife and I selected Fairfax as our Cryobank and found the perfect donor! The customer service was great and the process seemed easy but when it came to the option of inseminating at home, Fairfax missed the mark. We had to get signed approval from our physician to have the specimen sent to our home which our doctor was ready an willing to do, however, Fairfax's document for releasing products to a customers home lists that the procedure will take place under the supervision and care our doctor (which would not be the case).

For liability purposes, our physician couldn't sign that form and Fairfax doesn't posses and will not correct their form to reflect the correct terminology so that we can get the approval we need. Onlookers beware! Be sure that you connect with your physician beforehand because there's a good chance you will fall in love with the site and it's donors only to have to change your plans last second.

For potential sperm donors- this place will reject you for anything. Gave two samples and everything was good, but got rejected and wasn't given a clear cut reason why. Just got a generic email basically saying it was due to "many reasons". Also, was told I should see a psychologist based on some answers I gave to a 300 question, random-ass "personality test" (why they even give one is beyond me). I reached back out and asked them to be more specific, but they never replied. waste of time if you ask me.
