[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A DNA test is one way. And it used to be a bit more accepted practice. One woman who this happened to (her father was not her dad, the doctor was) wrote a memoir about it: https://danishapiro.com/books/inheritance/[/quote] Doc wasn't her dad. It was a donor. [/quote] She was raised with a father she was not related to. Her bio dad was the fertility doctor (or grad student?). This was done with her parents consent though. It was a mixing of the sperm samples and used to be done regularly. [/quote] pp point is that fatherhood is a social role. The man who raised her is her father. The man who contributed her sperm was her donor. I haven't read the book, so it's possible she met her donor later in life and also came to see him as her father, but until this happens he is the donor. This is an important distinction for anyone participating in this board.[/quote]
