Should I use a sperm bank or find a co-parent instead?

A sperm bank offers an anonymous donor, a medically supervised process, but a child who won't know their biological father, and often a high financial cost.

Co-parenting offers an identified parenting partner involved in the child's life, with possible shared responsibilities and costs, but requires more time upfront to find the right person.

The choice depends on what you want for your child: a connection to both identified biological parents, or a family structure centered on you with an anonymous donor.
