[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on the school.

Will there be questions or comments? Yes, but assume that it will be more between the kids and with parents who you become friends with. Can a one-parent family volunteer/be involved in the school? Yes, if you want to donate or volunteer.

I think it's more about what the culture of a school is and whether you and your child feel comfortable with it. [b] Is the school teaching about families and relationships in age-appropriate ways, and if so, how? Is there a father-daughter dance at the school, and do you view that as a problem[/b]? Will your child feel comfortable fielding or ignoring questions? Between kids, don't assume that anything is off limits.[/quote]

As someone with experience in multiple DC Privates ( Big 3, Big 5 , Top 7 ), I'd point out that in this day and age of DEI, DDI becoming necessary for these schools to stay PC no Private  school is so tone deaf as to have a " father - daughter dance" or to shoot themselves in the foot by not going over board to include every conceivable kind of family

As for the criticism of Catholic schools. Well, guess what: Catholic women find themselves needing IVF too and , just like with Abortion, many become " pro- choice " when they find they desperately want one. So, OP would probably find SMBC who donor conceived even in Catholic school . Why ? Because Catholic school is still selective and its cheaper than DC Privates. Not everyone is Uber Catholic, just like not everyone at Sidwell is a Quaker, right ?

I'd also reinforce that in NW DC, the parents and their attitudes towards Donor Conception / SMBC are going to be the same whether this parent chooses NW DCPS or Private because their is very little difference in the political views of a Corp lawyer and a Senate Staffer or DOJ Atty and they may have even gone to same Undergrad and Law schools together[/quote]
