Key Points

The research aims to investigate donor-conceived adolescents' intentions to seek information about their donors in varying family settings.
Cross-sectional survey of 100 donor-conceived adolescents aged 13-16 years conducted in 2022-2023.
Participants were approached from lesbian- and heterosexual-couple families involved in identity-release gamete donation.
Multinomial logistic regression analysis was utilized to examine associations between family type, donation type, and adolescents' intentions.
58% of adolescents intended to request donor information, while 10% did not intend to request any information.
Better family functioning was associated with uncertainty in making requests (P=0.036, OR 0.19, 95% CI 0.04-0.90).
Adolescents from heterosexual families donating sperm were more uncertain about requests than those from oocyte donation families (P=0.028, OR 0.17, 95% CI 0.04-0.82).
