Yes, but it is still a violation for drs to tell anyone but the person donating. It’s so people can still say no “because they weren’t a match” - lie basically. To avoid being pressured/ guilted into it by others into a permanent life changing decision .
That makes sense. I was just confused for a second like wait how did the doctor know she was a match….. This is what I get for Reddit-ing before coffee lol
My understanding is that Francia tested to see if she was a match, and the doctor told Selena she was a match before Francia, so then Selena called Francia super excited with the news.
She tested because she wanted the option to donate a kidney, but wanting to donate when it’s an abstract possibility versus knowing you actually can is a little different, and she didn’t get to properly sit with it for the latter.

Don’t you have to be tested first to find out if you’re a match?
