Perhaps they'll tell you a few facts like the age, sex, and country of your donor. In a way it doesn't matter but for some reason those few details were important to us when they found a donor for my wife. When you're thrown a lifeline you naturally wonder who is at the other end!
I agree - as of now, no info on my hero but I hope to be able to get a few general facts.
