[quote=Anonymous]I have two kids by DE. They are 10 and 13 now and, when they were small, I occasionally brought up using donor eggs in simplistic, age-appropriate ways. They never seemed interested in hearing more and basically acted pretty uninterested in talking about it. It's also not something I think a lot about and I admit that I have been kind of lazy about discussing it. It is not a secret and I want them to know as much as they are interested in knowing, but now it seems like maybe I have screwed up by not bringing it up more often and pushing the information on them. At these ages, I wonder if it is too disconcerting to tell them "hey, you're a donor egg kid" and it might create some sort of weird teenagery angst. I really don't want it to come as some big surprise when they are older and really understand how these things work but I also don't want to create a problem where none exists. How have others handled this with their DE kids? [/quote]
