[quote=Anonymous]My DE twins are in middle school now. We read “Mommy, Was Your Tummy Big?” when they were little. Then we talked about the donor when the school curriculum touched on DNA or the little that they get on sex and reproduction. One kid has always been more interested than the other but both seem to take it in stride. I have offered them the donor profile and neither took me up on it. It’s scarily amazing how much they are like me in terms of personality, temperament, etc., and my husband likes to joke that the clinic somehow did use my eggs. We try to joke about it, too, as in, “Not my genes” when they eat something that adults consider gross like ice cream with weird/excessive mix-ins. I think that it truly is like adoption in the sense of just being open, available, and relaxed about it with them. Nothing scary here, folks, keep walking and don’t freak out.[/quote]
