[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am confused - why do you even need to tell her? Is the donor allowed to contact her or something?[/quote] She will find out some day. Probably better to hear it from her parents first. You can't keep these secrets anymore.[/quote] +1 And all research suggests that being open and honest with your kids about their donor-conceived status helps them also feel fine about it/have a good relationship with parents about it. That being said, I totally understand why it felt awkward to bring this up, OP. How have you addressed teaching her about sex/pregnancy in general? I would approach it through those conversations, maybe introducing her to the concept of miscarriages/infertility/etc, which is something I think we don't discuss at all until people are actually trying to get pregnant as adults and can be a bit disorienting to learn.[/quote]
