[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever you decide, make sure you ask if the donor has been checked for social issues as well. I have friends who used 2 donors for their kids. The kids def look like the one that gave birth but one had adhd/autism ( no history on the moms side) and the other one had issues as well. You should focus more on that that than how the kids look for the amount of money you’re paying. [/quote]

This isn’t something you can really screen for. A lot of people weren’t diagnosed or don’t share that with family. When you use donor genetic material these are risks you have accept.

A friend of mine who works in the reproductive tech industry said very offhand, "that's why you don't go for the 'Ph.D. sperm.'" Don't know if there is research to back that up, but people in the industry seem to believe that selecting for extraordinary intelligence in a donor increases the chance of autism." [I say this as someone who used donor genetic material, is highly educated, and knows very little about assisted reproduction beyond my own experience.]

LOL my donor has a PhD... but like so do I and I just like school. I got the feeling from his interviews he was just donating bc he needed money while in school. [/quote]
