    We know Black and other people of color (POC) face unique challenges in their conception, pregnancy, and parenting journeys.  From the lack of donors of color, to medical biases, and financial considerations, TSBC is dedicated to providing resources and support for all our recipients as they start or continue their conception journey. We have compiled these resources to help support you on your path to parenthood.

    TSBC’s Equity Policy

    It is part of TSBC’s mission to find ways to provide equitable services, including access to reproductive options for our increasingly diverse community. For this reason, we have created our Equity Policy which includes reserving vials of certain donors to better assist TSBC recipients in their family creation efforts. Vial purchase restrictions may occur for a variety of reasons and on a case by case basis.
