[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did donor egg in 2001--and [b]my donor requested anonymity [/b]when that seemed possible to give her.   I now have three kids, ages 20, 17, 17.  And I have told them all exactly how they were conceived since before they could understand any of it.  Like I practiced telling them, so that it would become natural---which it did.    [b]HOWEVER, I also am very good with google searching, and I had enough clues from the donor's handwritten profile-AND THIS IS KEY--SHE WAS ACTIVE ON FACEBOOK.     I found her (maybe ten years ago? i dont remember).  I contacted her, via facebook message, just to confirm it was her, altho I knew I was right.[/b]  She was not happy, and I never contacted her again (nor would I in the future)
BUT- at least one of my kids is very interested in eventually finding half-siblings (which I know there are at least two-donor's own children--and I suspect there may be two more because I know that donor donated to another couple right before me).  I have asked my 17 year old child to wait until s/he is 18 to do 23andme or other dna test.   The child has agreed but I know they will eventually do it and may find their half siblings.  I have no problem with any of this.

Guess what tho--I suspect that my DH who comes from a secretive family was totally happy in 2001 that donor wanted to be anonymous.  And will not be so happy to welcome half sibs into his kids' world some time in the future.......................dear OP, you should not do this if you cannot be honest with your feelings and honest with your future DE child.  Just my humble opinion[/quote]

Wow, that's messed up. [/quote]
