[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is a completely different situation if you already have a biological child. Especially, a young biological child from the same marriage. This is why I have ruled out donor eggs.[/quote]

To me, this really isn't any different than having a mix of biological and adopted children, a la Brangelina.  I am my parents' biological child, while my younger brother was adopted after my mother experienced secondary infertility.  What a great story to be able to tell the adopted or donor child about how very badly he/she was wanted and what great lengths you went to to bring him/her into the family.    [/quote]

Yes, but how does your brother feel about his adoption? I have several good friends and extended family members in the same mixed situation and they had serious issues growing up. Not that they weren't happy about being adopted but it was still a lot to struggle with regarding identity. However, in those cases, they were already born into a situation -- with donor eggs, you are creating the situation.  [/quote]
