[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids were conceived via donor sperm.  From the donor sibling registry, I know that there are at least 19 1/2 siblings out there.  I choose not to register and I wonder how many others are like me and didn't register so my guess is that the number is higher.

I think it's up to your family if you want to meet these people.  Other than sharing some DNA, I don't know them and I have no interest in meeting them.  You may feel differently.  Now, if one of them posted that one of the kids had a genetic disorder and was looking for a donor match, I would get my kids tested and would help if possible.[/quote]

19! Yeah we are registered but didn't want to pay for the upgrade to message. Forgot our bank has a family forum.

We talked about not emeshing with these ppl and we certainly don't see them as siblings but if DD wanted to in the future she could have a relationship. I guess it's easy to second guess every single thing. Would she resent us if we didn't reach out and the others were closer? We also don't want to make her entire identity being a dcp.

I am most interested if something pops up health wise. I feel like doing one meeting as babies to get familiar might be good? I'm not sure the protocol do families have to report to dsr any medical stuff? [/quote]
