[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did your twins ever get teased or treated differently by other kids or families due to their DE status? Was it ever a thing? I have a DE child; I worry sometimes not so much about my own kid, with whom I have a very close connection, but how other kids might treat my child as 'different' ?[/quote] Op here. My kids' friends and our casual acquaintances don't know the kids' DE origins. In fact I didn't tell my parents because I worried they would not accept them. Both of my parents passed away without knowing, but they absolutely adored their three grandsons. [/quote] NP here also with one OE and one DE kid. I love both my kids equally but the DE kid looks a lot like the egg donor and takes after my DH while the OE kid looks like me. I marvel at seeing my face in my OE kid's face and I miss not seeing that in my DE kid but I tell myself that he could have easily taken after his dad facially. Like PP we never told the grandparents for the same reasons. DE kid knows that "another lady helped us" as we were taught to do during the required counseling so that there is never a bombshell moment. He also knows that this is private medical information that we don't reveal to other people. [/quote] Yes, you never know what OE kids will look like. My two boys take after their dad so strongly. I contributed some feature softening but it's quite subtle. Only my older son's eyebrows are recognizably more similar to me. Their baby pictures look like they could have been identical triplets.[/quote]
