Transfer of Ownership

Patients who have Fairfax Cryobank semen samples stored onsite with Fairfax Cryobank are able to transfer their samples into another person’s name for use by participating in what we call a Transfer of Ownership.  This allows Fairfax Cryobank to properly track the owners of our semen samples to ensure that we are able to closely monitor the number of Family Units for each donor.  This also allows us to create a letter for a second parent adoption for our patients as are commonly requested.  In addition, new owners of vials will receive medical updates as their contact information is now in our system.

Please be aware that in order to proceed with a transfer of ownership for a donor that is Sibling Only, the recipient of the vials must have a reported birth on file.  Likewise, if you are transferring vials from an Identity (ID) Option donor, the recipient will need to complete the Identity (ID) Option form if they have not already done so.
