Donor egg and bio kid

Anonymous
Not exactly the same but I have two friends who have a biological child and then an adopted child or two after that. No issues at all in either family and they all talk openly about it.

OP here. Thank you for the thoughtful responses. I appreciate people opening up about their own experiences to a stranger!
I am going to give OE a try or two and see how it goes. However, I am mentally opening myself up to DE in part because of the often-heard comment that those who have done it wish they had done so sooner.
One of the things I struggle with is that I would never want a DE child to feel shame about her genetic origin so I would feel responsible for looping close family in so it’s not a secret to him/her. But I would hate for other people to (well-meaning or not) say weird or unwelcome things or question his/her place in our family.
Anyway, funny enough, my AMH is slightly higher than it was four years ago (but still low). We struggled four years ago and my doctor expressed confidence in repeating our last/best cycle but acknowledged time might bite us.

I wouldn't but I also object to this notion that husband's get to have biological children much more often than women. I also don't like the advent of 23andme Era where that donor will be in your life some day. Do you know them?
