[quote=Anonymous]I do think it's weird to ask someone who is married and with his own family, and you may not be able to recover from the subsequent awkwardness or hurt feelings if he says no, which is pretty likely. That said, my wife and I (another lesbian couple here) DID use a known donor/friend. I can definitely make a case either way for anon vs. known donors but for US, this felt right. We wanted full access to the donor's medical history, we didn't want him to be this huge God-like unknown entity, and we were totally fine having HIS family involved to a certain extent as a third set of grandparents/aunts/uncles. We refer to him as an uncle and he is actually VERY minimally involved, lives out of state, etc. Also gay and doesn't want his own kids so there isn't that awkwardness you might have asking someone with his own family (since your kids would be half-siblings with his). Best of luck, OP.[/quote]
