African american/hispanic donor releases?

Talia

I will be using ccb in the next year or so, and notice there aren't a lot of hispanic/african american donors (or a mix of both)...will there be many more ethnic donors being released in the next year?

Thanks!!!

Hi Talia -

We do have a shortage of minority donors (and applicants)-- as do all sperm banks. On the brightside, a few new AA donors have been released in the last few weeks. Between now and about mid-April, we have the following AA and Hispanic donors scheduled for first release:

Mex/Caucasian
African American, Native American, Swedish
Full Mexican
African American, Jamaican
Mexican/Caucasian
African

**Everyone else reading: This is a one-time answer for Talia since she was the first to ask and there are so few donors that match her needs. Please do not follow-up with requests on other new donors due for release. Unfortunately, it is not possible for me to answer everyone's individual requests.

Thanks,

Hey, seems our donor 12224 is difficult to find as you must search under caucasian to find him. He is 1/2 Spanish and 1/2 Irish....great donor...

Scott - shouldn't he be listed under latin? or is Spanish not considered latin?

Hi Tommie -

Spanish means his family is from Spain, which is part of Europe, not Latin America.

I just read my response and realized it may have sounded snappy. I certainly didn't mean it that way. Just meant to clarify that the donor does not have a Latin ethnic background.

Interesting...guess I never knew that! I just assumed that Spanish was hispanic and thought latin was just another name for it. LoL....
