A Personal Perspective: Mutual consent contact ensures both parties are ready to connect, providing a more positive experience than DNA websites' often unexpected results.

Registry in 2000. It was based on the idea that while my son's donor had signed up to be anonymous, Ryan was interested to know whether the guy might be curious about the children who shared ~50% of his. Also, he wondered if he had any half-siblings out there: people with whom he shared a biological father. The concept of mutual consent contact was important to us, as we didn’t want to “out” anyone; we wanted to create a platform where we could facilitate mutually desired contact.
At first, the DNA test did provide some interesting information about where Ryan’s paternal ancestors hailed from. He thought that was cool, and we both thought that was the end of that part of the story. Nine months later, though, we received notification that Ryan had been matched with two very distant relatives.
By searching on the DSR, you can be assured that any results you’re provided will come with the certainty and confirmation that the person you’re connecting with will not be shocked by the news that they are donor-conceived. Donors who have made themselves available are open to some type of information sharing or relationship, and chances are, most will be thrilled to make the match.
