[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I totally understand the "friend's child" concerns. But for us, if we were to do donor, that would be how we would want to do it. That family is across the country and not someone we would ever see again unless we made a specific effort. But still would have the connection for the future child, plus the enormous benefit of a totally known and open genetic and health history. And I absolutely respect other peoples' preferences regarding the age gap. It's just not for us, though I also believe firmly that you don't need a sibling to have a happy or "normal" childhood. We'd have a second child because we the parents still want one after all of these years, not because our kid wants one or because we feel like any sibling is better than no sibling. This is all hard stuff and I sort of wish I fell in the "keep trying forever" camp, so I could just move forward and stop vacillating. [/quote]
