[quote=Anonymous]Donor egg/embryo/sperm—when/what age did you start sharing your story with your child(ren), family, friends, etc?

How did you do it? Real talk or using a book? If a book, which did you like?

For those with older donor-conceived children, what were your fears about telling and did they come true?

Anything else you’d like to share?

I’ve told DC1 the story a few times after reading the book about Pally & Comet trying to make a baby bunny. I have added on how we struggled to make her and that we had a lot of help. My fear is going too far with the story developmentally-wise. Was your kid interested for just a few days and then let it go? We’re they at Girl Scouts and blurted it out? How often did you talk about it and is there a point where you stopped initiating and just waited for them to remember?

Thank you and good luck to all the hopeful mamas-to-be in the fight for your families! Families come in all shapes and sizes and I wish you peace and grace as you ride the infertility wave of emotions. [/quote]
