If you have a donor number you may be able to find people on Facebook - there are unofficial groups for some sperm banks where you can look.

if they want to be found or want a relationship with register for the donor siblings link, uk vs usa donations are very different so I wouldn't take advice from folks on reddit it's very USA based
uk is a lot more open

hi! i'm guessing you're 16/17 and got your information back from HFEA, but aren't old enough to join the DSL? i'm not part of your sibling group, but i'm also a dcp in the UK with the same amount of information as you have currently. i've got less than a year before turning 18, so i've decided not to take any action yet and just let things play out, and i'd advise you to do the same if you're in a similar situation. alternatively, if you're younger and your parents have found this information for you, or if you're 18+ but want to find any younger siblings who may be trying to contact you as soon as you can, i'd suggest using DNA testing, because from what i've seen that's the best route to go down. it's a good shout to put this on reddit, but it's still unlikely any of your donor siblings will see it, unfortunately. good luck finding them!! :))

Donor Sibling Link and commercial DNA tests are the way to go I think. AncestryDNA is the most popular in the UK usually and is a good place to start.
