[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a lurker here so please ignore if this question is rude or insensitive. Do you tell your DE kids about their genetic background? Are the donors generally anonymous?[/quote] I’m the PP with three DE kids. They all know and we have been talking about it casually since they were little so it has never been a big deal. I personally think this is the best way. Kids usually react badly when it is revealed later and was kept a secret. Because it was never a secret for my kids, it’s just one more thing about them that they use to build their own identity. Our donors were anonymous but I fully expect them to do a genetic test when they are adults and they will probably be able to identify the donor. My bigger worry with that is for the donor because she had an expectation of anonymity. I do not necessarily think my guys would contact the donor and I am fairly certain they won’t do it without talking to us first so we can counsel them. [/quote]
