With the California Cryobank recently publicising Ben Affleck as their female customers top choice of male celebrity sperms donor lookalikes; Co-ParentMatch.com considers the celebrity lookalike debate. At Co-ParentMatch.com we have over 8000 registered members, some of whom are looking for sperm donors, some searching for co-parents and of course many of our members are sperm donors themselves. We understand that wanting to know what your sperm donor looks like is very important to our members because they tell us so. One of the reasons Co-ParentMatch.com is the leading site for finding a sperm donor or co-parent is that members are able to view a full profile of their sperm donor free of charge. Our members tell us they want to see that person, they want to know what colour hair they have, the colour of their eyes, their build and their individual characteristics. They will quickly form an opinion through looking at a photograph and reading a sperm donor’s profile. They can then choose to correspond with that member in a safe regulated environment and if they choose thereafter they can arrange to meet with that person to get to know them. So, initially looks are very much important to our members. That’s not to say ‘good looks’ are imperative – it’s more about knowing what that person looks like than who they look like. At Co-ParentMatch.com you not only get to look at your sperm donor but you get to talk to them, meet them and understand what their personality is like. This is one the main reasons members do not go to a sperm bank because they are purely relying on what a piece of paper says about that sperm donor. Who has suggested that person looks like Ben Affleck and how closely do his features resemble Ben Affleck? Perhaps in an ideal world we would all like to think we resemble a particular Hollywood celebrity but we are who we are and unless you are lucky enough to get with Ben Affleck himself then be aware that putting a celebrity name slant on your donor does not make him that superstar.

When a lesbian couple decide they want to have a child with the father being part of the child’s life, using a sperm bank is no longer an option. It’s time to consider Co-ParentMatch.com. September 22nd 2009 - Why I chose Co-ParentMatch.com over a Sperm Bank? As with many women my biological clock began to tick very loudly when I hit the big 30. I was fortunate enough to be in a wonderful loving and supportive relationship of 12 years however with one small but apparent problem – my partner is female. So, in terms of making a baby there were decisions to be made. The first discussion my partner and I had in the baby-making process was around the ‘sperm bank’ option. We spoke at great length about the pros and cons of using this process such as anonymity of the donor, trust in terms of health screening and of course cost. Ultimately for us, we couldn’t get over the anonymity factor. My partner and I both have very close relationships with our fathers so how could we bring a child into the world when we knew nothing about their biological dad other than statistics on a piece of paper such as eye colour, height and profession? We couldn’t live with not knowing anything about that person and most importantly we felt that it wouldn’t be fair to allow our child to grow up not knowing their father. We are not naive enough to think that children without a father figure grow up to be any less of a well rounded individual than those with a steady father in their life – in fact we both have close friends who have grown up perfectly well without their dad being around. Sometimes there will be no father figure due to separation, divorce or the father simply not wanting or accepting that role as ‘dad’. However unlike these factors, the decision for my partner and I was not something that was out of our control -we were very much in the driving seat. So, with the option of a sperm bank not completely buried but very much pushed to the back of our minds we considered our other options. One possible avenue we both agreed on would be to ask a male friend to ‘help’ us. One slight problem – as we trawled through our contact book of male friends it very quickly became clear that for reasons ranging from ‘married’ to ‘not interested in fathering a child’ we hastily ran out of options on that possibility. Ok, so what next? The internet – solutions to all problems! After typing into Google terms such as ‘sperm donor’ and ‘sperm bank’ the only results produced were options we had already considered and dismissed. We realised that what we were looking for was a ‘co-parent’ - someone who actually wanted to be a dad to our child. With this is new found concept in mind we typed in the magical word co-parent and stumbled across Co-ParentMatch.com. Our first reaction when finding the site was “oh my god there are other people like us out there”, and not just a handful but thousands! We very quickly registered with the site and within minutes were searching for our man. We engaged in conversation with a few guy’s who didn’t quite fit the bill but after a couple of weeks as members we typed in our usual search criteria and found someone who seemed just what we were looking for. We exchanged messages a couple of times, spoke on the phone and then arranged to meet. Mark is a single gay guy, good looking, good job, own home, lives locally to us and is just lovely. The three of us built up a relationship over a 2-3 month period and then decided to go ahead with our baby making plans. We insisted on Mark having health screening tests as this was something really imperative to our plans. We were not naive enough to think that just because our man was professional and a lovely person that he would be ‘clean’ so we insisted right from the start on health screening tests which he was more than happy to do. In all honesty we were approaching the ‘desperate’ stage of wanting to get pregnant and it was very difficult going through cycle after cycle of ovulation without any attempts at getting pregnant but waiting for the health test results was well worth it as it really put our minds at ease. With a set of clear results we were ready to proceed. We bought the home insemination kit from Co-ParentMatch.com and arranged our dates to meet. We performed the insemination over 3 days for 4 consecutive months and just as we were beginning to doubt the process we finally got that positive result that had taken over a year of planning. My partner, Mark and myself are now looking forward to the birth of our daughter and giving all the love in the world to our new family. Co-ParentMatch.com asked me to share my story and I didn’t hesitate. I can’t thank them enough for providing this website and am grateful for the service they provide. Co-ParentMatch.com is the leading site worldwide for matching sperm donors and co-parents. It offers a simple guide to choosing the best option for finding that missing link in completing your family.

Co-ParentMatch.com –the leading site for people trying to find sperm donors and co-parents has launched the sale of the first sperm friendly Pre-Seed lubricant in it’s online shop. (PRWEB) August 21st 2009 – Co-ParentMatch.com - the leading site for people trying to find a sperm donor or co-parent has launched the Pre-Seed Lube product in its online shop in a bid to encourage customers to use this option to ensure that other lubricants are not hampering their chances of conceiving. Most other vaginal lubricants on the market can damage sperm and will therefore prevent women conceiving. Co-ParentMatch.com recommends Pre-Seed lube as it is sperm friendly which means that sperm can move freely around the vagina. Many popular lubricants can create a barrier that interferes with sperm or can even be hostile to the sperm. Many women experience vaginal dryness and this can be stressful while trying to conceive naturally however many of the Co-ParentMatch.com customers are going through the stressful process of home insemination involving instruments such as speculums and syringes. Lubricants can therefore be a welcome relief. In order to provide the right environment for sperm the natural vaginal moisture can play an important role in fertility. Vaginal dryness can reduce fertility and be painful. Pre-Seed is the first ‘sperm friendly’ vaginal lubricant that mimics natural body secretions to relieve vaginal dryness while providing an optimal sperm environment. Pre-Seed provides moisture without harming the sperm. Co-ParentMatch.com have handy individual sachets of Pre-Seed available in their online shop. These can be purchased as part of a home insemination kit or bought individually. The Co-ParentMatch.com team have recently sent out complimentary sachets to some of their members for feedback. For more information or to purchase Pre-Seed lube please visit us at www.Co-ParentMatch.com Co-ParentMatch.com was launched over 2 years ago as the first website of its kind to match people who are searching for sperm donors or co-parents without the expense of going through a sperm bank or clinic.
