[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way.  These people are not our family. [/quote]
but it's possible that your children go off and have sex/marry/start a family with a half sibling if they are unaware.  You ok with that?[/quote]

People always talk about this, but it’s a nearly statistically impossible scenario. In a population of 333 million what are the chances that you’ll meet and fall in love with one of your lets exaggerate and say 2,000 half siblings?

Add to that that you’d already know you had a donor, so would be on the look out for that possibility. The only way it could happen is if your sibling didn’t know and both sets of parents were dead. So many things would have to happen. I feel like I’m more likely to win the lotto and I fully believe that’s rigged.

Besides, donors are fully screened for genetic diseases and conditions. So, even if you did meet and fall in love with a half sibling, your kids would probably be fine. Everyone in the whole country of Iceland is basically second cousins and they are all fine. Yeah, I’m not worried about this one. [/quote]
