There has been little research on the views and experiences of non-biological parents of sperm donor children. This paper reports the results of a survey of non-biological mothers and fathers. An online survey was designed and conducted by the Donor Sibling Registry, a US-based non-profit organization that supports those who have used donor conception. A total of 244 people responded (199 non-biological mothers and 45 non-biological fathers). The survey aimed to understand the perspectives of the respondents who had used donor spermatozoa within heterosexual or same-sex relationships, by exploring their views on a number of key issues. Certain issues and concerns associated with not being genetically related to their offspring were experienced differently by men and women. However, there were many important areas of common ground: a concern for getting a healthy donor, the importance of matching the donor to the non-biological partner, and the amount of thought that went into selecting the donor. The implications of these results for policies concerning donor spermatozoa are discussed.
关于非生物学父母（即精子捐献者的孩子的亲生父母以外的父母）的观点和经验，相关研究甚少。本文报告了对非生物学母亲和父亲的调查结果。该调查由美国非营利组织 Donor Sibling Registry 设计和开展，该组织旨在为那些使用供精生育的人提供支持。共有 244 人做出回应（199 名非生物学母亲和 45 名非生物学父亲）。该调查旨在通过探讨他们对一些关键问题的看法，了解那些在异性恋或同性恋关系中使用精子捐献者的受访者的观点。与他们的后代没有遗传关系的某些问题和担忧，在男性和女性中的体验有所不同。然而，也有许多重要的共同点：关注获得健康的供体，匹配供体与非生物学伴侣的重要性，以及在选择供体时所付出的思考。这些结果对有关精子捐献的政策具有启示意义。
