[quote=Anonymous]I don't have any experience in this situation, but I would say, in general, add to these thoughts this one: who is the best person to tell DC? Focusing on the fact (since the agency doesn't know if there was a rape): birth father unknown. Seems like that's enough to tell, and there are many, many reasons for 'unknown'. I think if the birth mother comes forward, establishes a relationship, and wants to tell your kid, then she's the best person. If she doesn't, I'm not sure you need to go beyond the unknown part. With donor egg, to me, that's very different: the birth mother is known, the circumstances are known, lots of facts, and there's a danger that the not-right person will tell your kid. You sound like such a caring, dedicated parent, OP. [/quote]
