[quote=Anonymous]OP, there are donor conceived people facebook groups that can help you. They're probably going to be harsh, because you have made a mistake by waiting so long, but you should listen with an open heart. My advice is to prioritize and validate your child's feeling. If your child is angry/sad, etc., don't take that personally, apologize, and let them know that it's ok to have those feelings. It may be shock right away and anger later, so be prepared to be supportive long term. If they want to meet their bio mom or siblings, see if you can facilitate that. This is most likely going to be hard for your kid, so do your best to be supportive and don't center your own feelings. [/quote]
