Before you choose, give yourself space to reflect.
A Donor Resonance Reading is an interpretive document that helps you notice what resonates in a donor profile — patterns, tone, gaps, and possibilities.
What Is a Resonance Reading?
A Donor Resonance Reading is a thoughtful, full-length interpretation—approximately 1,200 to 1,800 words—designed to help you sit with the material before making one of the most meaningful decisions of your life.
When you're choosing a donor, you're often given raw information: questionnaires, staff impressions, medical histories, sometimes a photo or handwritten note. But raw information doesn't always help you feel your way toward clarity. You might find yourself stuck—not because you lack data, but because you need time and space to notice what the data means to you.
A Resonance Reading offers that space. Instead of listing facts or evaluating suitability, it explores patterns and themes across the donor's self-presentation. It pays attention to tone, pacing, and emphasis—what the donor lingers on, what they mention briefly, what remains unspoken. It considers presence and absence, strengths and open questions, and what qualities might carry forward over generations. And it offers reflective prompts to support your own intuitive and emotional response.
This is interpretation, not evaluation. The goal is not to tell you what to think, but to give you room to notice what you feel. A Resonance Reading respects that meaning is co-created—that clarity emerges not from being told the answer, but from being given time to sit with the question.
What's Inside a Reading
Each Resonance Reading is structured to support slow, careful reflection. The document unfolds across several sections, each offering a different lens on the donor's self-presentation. Together, they create a dimensional portrait—not a conclusion, but a space for you to notice, feel, and reflect.
Every Reading begins with a Snapshot Overview, offering a grounded first impression of who the donor presents themselves to be. This section gathers the scattered threads of the profile into a cohesive starting point, helping you orient yourself before moving deeper.
The Personality and Temperament Themes section explores patterns in how the donor describes themselves—what words they choose, what qualities they emphasize, and what their tone suggests about how they move through the world. This isn't an assessment of whether they're "good" or "suitable," but rather an observation of recurring themes and the emotional texture of their self-presentation.
In Family and Background Context, the Reading considers what shaped the donor and what they carry forward from their upbringing. This section looks at family values, cultural background, and the influences the donor names—or doesn't name—as formative. It's an invitation to reflect on what resonates with your own sense of family and continuity.
The Strengths and Sources of Stability section identifies where steadiness, consistency, or groundedness show up in the profile. These are not predictions about a child's future, but rather observations about the donor's relationship to routine, discipline, health, and self-regulation.
Gentle Considerations and Open Questions takes a different approach. This section names what's less clear, what's abbreviated, or what invites further reflection. It doesn't frame these as red flags or weaknesses, but as areas where the profile leaves room for uncertainty—and where your own intuition and values become especially important.
The Long-Term Family Resonance section explores qualities that may carry forward over generations. It considers physicality, temperament, intellectual orientation, and relational style—not as guarantees, but as patterns worth noticing as you imagine a child who might share some of these threads.
Near the end of every Reading, you'll find Reflections for You—a series of six to eight prompts designed to invite bodily, emotional, and intuitive responses. These are not yes-or-no questions. They're spacious invitations to notice what arises when you sit with the material, without pressure to arrive at a particular answer.
The Reading closes with a Closing Note that reminds you: this is one interpretation, not the final word. Meaning is not delivered to you—it emerges in the conversation between what's offered and what you bring to it.
If the donor profile includes a handwriting sample, the Reading may also include a brief Handwriting Snapshot Summary—a short reflection on what the handwriting suggests about presence, care, and tone.
Every Reading is five to seven pages.
Is This Right For You?
A Resonance Reading is designed for people who are ready to reflect, not people who are still gathering options. It works best when you already have a donor profile in hand—from any sperm bank or donor program—and you're trying to sit with it, feel your way into it, or understand what it means to you.
This is for you if you've narrowed your search but feel stuck between a few possibilities. If you have information but don't know how to hold it. If you want more than facts—if you want help noticing patterns, tone, gaps, and resonance. If you're comfortable with uncertainty and don't need someone to tell you the "right answer." If you value reflection over speed, and intuition over algorithm.
A Resonance Reading is also for you if you've felt overwhelmed by donor profiles that feel flat or impersonal, or if you've wished someone could help you see what's actually there—not to make the decision for you, but to give you space to make it yourself.
This is not for you if you're looking for personality testing, compatibility scores, or predictive assessments. It's not for you if you want a recommendation about whether to choose this donor, or if you need reassurance that you're making the right choice. A Resonance Reading offers interpretation, not certainty. It supports your process, but it doesn't resolve your uncertainty—because uncertainty is part of what makes this decision meaningful.
If you're very early in your search and haven't yet identified specific profiles, a Resonance Reading may be premature. It works best when you're close to deciding, not when you're still exploring broadly.
And if you're someone who prefers data, metrics, and clear evaluative frameworks, this may not be the right tool. A Resonance Reading is built for people who trust their own felt sense, who value nuance, and who are willing to sit with complexity.
How It Works
The process is simple and straightforward. You provide the donor profile you'd like interpreted—this can be a PDF, a document file, or a link to the profile on a sperm bank's website. The profile can come from any donor program or sperm bank; we work with material from all sources.
Once we receive the profile, we create your Resonance Reading using a carefully designed interpretive framework. This framework is built on principles from genetic counseling, narrative psychology, and non-directive interpretive practice. It focuses on pattern recognition, tone analysis, and reflective questioning—not on evaluation, prediction, or recommendation.
Your Reading is generated using a specialized AI tool trained specifically for this kind of work. We're transparent about this because we believe that AI, used thoughtfully and ethically, can offer a form of careful interpretation that's consistent, non-judgmental, and entirely focused on supporting your reflection. The framework itself has been designed with human care, informed by expertise in donor conception, and built around clear ethical boundaries. While the document is created by AI, the structure, tone, and approach are the result of intentional design.
You'll receive your completed Reading within 24-48 hours. It arrives as a PDF, ready to read on screen, print, annotate, or return to over time. There's no subscription, no follow-up required, and no pressure to purchase additional services. This is one document, created for your use.
If you're deciding between multiple donors, you can order Readings for each profile. Some people find it helpful to have Readings side by side, while others prefer to sit with one at a time. There's no single right way to use this tool—it's designed to adapt to your process, not dictate it.
If you have questions about whether a particular profile format will work, or if you're unsure whether your donor's information is detailed enough for interpretation, you can reach out before ordering. We'll let you know honestly whether a Reading will be useful, or whether the material is too sparse to generate meaningful reflection.

Each Resonance Reading is created using a specialized AI framework designed specifically for donor profile interpretation. We're fully transparent about this because we believe honesty matters, especially in work as personal as donor conception.
The AI has been trained to analyze tone, patterns, presence, and absence—without making recommendations, predictions, or judgments. It operates within a carefully designed interpretive framework informed by principles from genetic counseling and narrative psychology. While the document itself is generated by AI, the structure, boundaries, and ethical commitments behind it are the result of human design and care.
We've chosen this approach because AI, used thoughtfully, can offer interpretation that is consistent, non-directive, and entirely focused on your reflection—without the biases, fatigue, or subjective preferences that can influence human interpretation. It allows us to create full-length, high-quality documents at a scale and price point that wouldn't otherwise be possible.
If you have concerns about AI-generated content, we understand. This tool isn't for everyone, and that's okay. But if you're open to it, we believe it offers something genuinely useful: careful, consistent, reflective support during one of the most important decisions you'll make.

A Resonance Reading is interpretive work, not a product with guaranteed outcomes. If the Reading doesn't resonate with you, that's valuable information in itself—it may clarify what you're actually looking for, or it may help you realize that this donor isn't the right fit.
That said, if you feel the Reading was poorly executed, incomplete, or failed to meet the standard we've described, please reach out. We'll review your concerns and work with you to make it right.
-
Yes. Many people find it helpful to order Readings for two or three donors they're considering. You can order multiple Readings at once, or order them one at a time. There's no limit.
-
We work with profiles from any sperm bank or donor program. As long as you can provide the profile in a readable format (PDF, document, or link), we can create a Reading. The donor's information doesn't need to come from a specific source.
-
You'll receive your completed Reading within 12-24 hours. We'll send it to the email address you provide at checkout.

No. A Resonance Reading does not make recommendations. It does not tell you whether this donor is "right" or "suitable." It offers interpretation—patterns, tone, themes—so that you can reflect and decide for yourself. If you're looking for someone to tell you what to do, this isn't the right tool.
-
If a profile is extremely sparse—just a few sentences or basic stats—there may not be enough material for meaningful interpretation. If you're unsure whether your profile has enough detail, you can reach out before ordering and we'll let you know honestly whether a Reading will be useful.
-
Yes. The donor profile you submit is used only to create your Reading. We do not store profiles long-term, share them with third parties, or use them for any purpose beyond generating your document. Your privacy matters, and we treat your information accordingly.
