I was born in London to two mums who used an anonymous sperm donor to conceive me. I was raised knowing my conception story, as it was talked about casually, and all my questions were answered to their best ability as I grew up.
A recipient parent wonders about how and when to connect their child with donor conceived siblings.
I’m sure I said, “It’s actually a ‘donor’ not a father.” I can remember my voice saying, “Our daughter doesn’t have a dad. She has two moms.” But much of that changed for me when I found out about my own donor conception experience.
An intended parent wonders about the pros and cons of choosing a known donor versus an Open-ID-at-18 donor with her wife.
