[quote=Anonymous]I’m a lesbian with two kids. When my wife and I were starting to plan our family, we quickly landed at using an anonymous sperm donor. Why? We knew that parenting with two people would be a challenge and didn’t want to add in another person. We didn’t want to go through the legal work it would take as well as the risk around HIV. Using an anonymous donor took care of all of that. I don’t ever worry that someone will change their mind and demand custody.

There are donors that the child can contact once they turn 18 if that is something that is important.

We have friends that have used a friend or family member as a donor, and it’s worked out fine for them. For us, it was important to keep it anonymous. I’m not sure I would feel comfortable asking a family member that already had kids. If they’re married, their spouse may feel uncomfortable. It wouldn’t be worth it to possibly upset our relationship.

Just another perspective to consider. There are many right ways to approach your situation. Good luck to you. [/quote]
