[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you used donor eggs or sperm that is one thing. In that situation it becomes part of the child’s self-story that they have a right to know from an early age so that it never feels like it was kept from them. If you just used IVF I think that is really just your story. I would tell the kid when they are a teen or young adult so they can be realistic about fertility choices, but they will be ready to be discreet by then.[/quote] This. And if you did use donor egg/sperm I would tell the grandparents, too. If that makes them love you or your precious little one any less than to heck with them. Most likely, they would do better with that information than you think, even if they might be initially surprised by it. But if this is simply a matter of how the conception took place....I'd save that conversation for another 20 years or so. [/quote]
