Different donorpapers


When I was 13 years old I received my donor passport. I had gone to the AMC to pick up my donor passport, but it was in a magazine the donor passport and not topsoil. The warehouse was locked so they had sent in the donor passport and I got the passport 2 weeks after I visited. I was so happy, there are so many things in it. Education, appearance, physical and social data. He also has extra information about himself with self-description. About education and his youth and where he worked and lives. So lots of information. Also handwritten, which I really liked, because you can tell from someone's handwriting what type of person it is.


Later on I also received a donor passport from the Foundation Donor Data Artificial Fertilization. But I hadn't really looked into it because I already had a donor passport. And I secretly lost him too. 😂😅 So then I came across that donor passport a few days ago. And I started to compare it with the donor passport from AMC. Things that are NOT in the donor passport of the Artificial Insemination Donor Data Foundation:

- His hair color was blonde while it was blonde / dark blonde on AMC donor passport.

- Eye & hair color from parents.

- His ethnic background.

- His hobbies.

- Sports.

- Faith

- About whether he thinks that his life situation with no partner and children would ever change.

- Personal characteristics are strange. Two differences from what it is.

- In his self-description he had written down where he worked. This has been removed from the donorpaper


I think the last thing in particular is a bit strange. The self-description is the only handwritten page I have in the donorpaper of the Stichting donorgegevens kunstmatige bevruchting (artificial fertilization donor data foundation). And there are just the lines that he wrote about his job and where he worked, and then I think why ???? It may be to protect him, but I think it's a bit weird. I myself saw a word with a letter taken out and above it. It just seems like they cut and paste work. Not tight and well done I hope this can be changed in the future. But I recommend that you simply arrange it through your hospital instead of with the Stichting donorgegevens kunstmatige bevruchitng (artificial Insemination donor data Foundation). I also think that they should change something on the website of the stichting donorgegevens kunstmatige bevruchting (artificial insemination donor data foundation). They say on their website that they have no information for donor conceived people conceived before 2004, but I am from 2000 and then my donor was la ID release donor. In the AMC there were already ID release donors since 1990. 1 of the first from the Netherlands with such donors. So I think that their website should contain information for each hospital on the website of the stichting donorgegevens kunstmatige bevruchting (foundation donor data artificial insemination). I hope this will ever happen.
