[quote=Anonymous]OP, Fairfax Genetics and IVF is one of the largest ( and most used) sperm banks in the world and its in the DMV.

More than half their clients are SMBC and/or lesbian. Five years later many of these women with obvious financial means are seeking the best education for their kid.

In short, you won't be the only- not in the private  school and not on your block or your place of employment

In terms of sharing, while no one wants to be a poster child known for how they reproduce, you will be spending a lot of time with and becoming hopefully very friendly with many parents over your DC's 14 years in a given school among a community of maybe 80-90 families. People will ask- not in a probing way- but just normal conversation during Pre-K soccer games sideline talk, while socializing at all those PK and KDG birthday parties... all those get to know the other parents events. People will innocently ask if you are divorced or maybe bi-costal. Teachers will also ask, " is Dad in his/her life ?" or " tell us about your family" in your 1st parent teacher conference.

fwiw, they will ask the same in Public school and make the same judgements ( positive and negative) . In DC area NW Public and DC private is basically the same group of UMC, graduate degree type person.

So just have your stock answer and prepare your child because once they enter school other kids will ask " where is your dad?" Its best to be brief but upbeat. I also wouldn't worry because its very likely that you have been proceeded by a few couples of very financially successful ( and generous to the school ) 2 Dad households who basically shocked the school into the 21st Century for you- already - a decade ago.
