Motivation for Donation:  Donor states his motivation to become a donor was initially for financial reasons as he is a graduate student and does not have a lot of money.  However he also believes this is doing a good “deed” by helping those who desire to have children by donating his sperm. He is engaged to be married and his fiancé is supportive of his participation and thinks it is a very good idea to do this. They hope to have children in the future and he has a close relationship with his own family.

 

Informal Mental Status and Behavioral Observations:  Donor was on time to this appointment and appropriately dressed. His mannerisms and language were in the normal range and he did not display any cognitive abnormalities.  He was thoughtful in his responses to questions asked and interested in learning more about the psychological impact of infertility on couples and how they chose third party reproduction as their family building option.  He has a very upbeat personality and was very warm and engaging.  He appears to be an extremely intelligent young man and is quite mature for his age.  This donor makes a very positive first impression and has a handsome face and beautiful smile with sparkling white straight teeth.

 

Psychosocial History:  Donor grew up in the Midwest and has been in Oregon attending graduate school in the medical field. His father is a carpenter that is highly skilled.  His mother is a postal carrier.  He states both parents are very healthy. Donor has one sister and she recently graduated from college with a BA in Psychology. She is planning on continuing her education to gain a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology and wants to counsel teenagers. She is single with no health problems. Donor states she is very healthy. He has two years of graduate school left. 

 

Psychological History:  Donor states there is no history of mental illness in his family of origin and he has never sought counseling or suffered from any depression.  There is no history of alcoholism he reports in his family of origin. He is a social drinker averaging one beer in the evenings when he cooks dinner. He has no legal or financial problems and has never had a bankruptcy.  He states to not being a recreational drug user and has no history of substance abuse. He has no unanticipated loss and grief although he is saddened by the late stage illness of his maternal grandmother. He is a non-smoker.  Donor describes his personality as friendly, outgoing and very even tempered. 

 

Hobbies and Interests:  Donor is an avid outdoorsman. He has climbed fifteen mountains in the Pacific Northwest in the last year and a half!  He also likes canoeing, running and is an avid mountain biker.  He recently took up photography.

 

Results of the PAI testing:  Donor took the PAI and did not show any signs of psychopathology in the clinical scales. His entire results were in the normal limits.  He described no significant problems with empathy, unusual thought patterns, antisocial behaviors, hostility, moodiness, impulsivity, unhappiness or depression.  He also reports no problems with alcohol or drug dependency.  His self report shows a positive self motivated individual who is adaptive and self satisfied in his life. He is characterized as friendly and extraverted.  He prefers activities with others and quick to offer help to those who need it. 

 

Recommendation:  Donor meets the ASRM Mental Health Professional Group recommendations for anonymous donors and along with the results of the clinical interview and the results of the PAI testing is recommended as an anonymous donor for Oregon Health and Sciences University Fertility Consultants.

                KID PAGE    

 

1. In general, please describe your childhood.

We lived in the same home my entire childhood through teens and my parents still live there today. I have very fond memories of our home. It is a very secluded farm where I spent a lot of my time as a child exploring the great outdoors. I have one sister two years younger than myself and we spent a lot of time playing together. Since we lived so far away from town, we ended up becoming very close.

 

2. Were there any family members other than your parents and siblings with whom you regularly had contact?

We did spend quite a bit of time at my dad’s parent’s house when we were young. They lived down the same road as we did and my sister and I spent a lot of time with them playing games and also helping them with chores.

 

3. As a child, what was/were your favorite:            (Please include a reason, or why, if you can.)

 

Food(s)?        Apple pie: my parents have a lot of apple trees at their home and my mom perfected the apple pie.

 

Color(s)?        Red, and it still is today.

 

Toy(s)?           When I spent time inside my favorite was Lego’s.

 

Indoor game(s)?        When we were old enough we played a lot of monopoly as a family.

 

Outdoor game(s)?     Hide and seek, with a farm you can play for hours.

 

Book(s)?        I remember reading the book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen.  I wanted to be the boy stranded in Canada after that.

 

Sport(s)?        Basketball, my dad would play with me a lot when he came home.

 

Other activity(s)?      

 

4. What is your earliest memory?

My earliest memory is of all of my cousins and extended family getting together at my aunts home and swimming in the river in her backyard.

 

5. What did you do during the summers?

We spent a lot of time with my mom since she would take summers off to stay with us. Also, living on a farm, once we were old enough we would help with chores that were suitable. Also I remember always looking forward to bible camp every summer. My sister and I loved going, and I’m sure my parents liked it too.

 

6. Are there any Anew@ technologies you remember becoming available during your childhood which now are commonplace in our society, or which have now been replaced by a newer technology?

I remember one of my older cousins having an Atari video game system that was the coolest thing I had ever seen. I think I begged my parents for a Nintendo for a long time after seeing that. My parents weren’t big video game fans so I really enjoyed getting to stay with friends who had them. It’s amazing to see how different video entertainment has changed since then.

 

7. Did you enjoy school as a child?  Do you have any memories of teachers that influenced you, or that you especially liked (or disliked)?

I did enjoy school a lot as a child, but probably more for the socializing than the learning since it was really my only time to interact with children outside my family. I do remember my fourth grade teacher who was a great help to me, especially in getting me orientated toward learning and not playing too much with classmates.

 

8. Did you have chores or tasks that you were regularly expected to do?

It’s hard for me to specifically think of individual tasks that we were asked to do, but I do remember helping my dad out a lot on the farm when I was old enough. I remember that once I hit a certain age my dad would wake me up and have me come out with him in the morning to feed and milk the cows and then do the same in the evening. Also when I became older still my dad would give me more responsibilities in that I was accountable for certain tasks that needed to be done which I really didn’t like at the time, but I feel has definitely shaped who I am today.

 

9. Any other recollections of importance that come to mind?
