[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't get to erase a child's genetic identity, his ancestry, his heritage, his parentage, his siblinfs, or anything. You didn't "buy" a baby, er, well you actually did,  but you can't continue to act like none of that matter. [/quote]

And you don’t get to dictate how other people feel about these things. Just because YOU would feel a connection to strangers who share your DNA, doesn’t mean that other people would, too.

I’m adopted. My parents are the people who raised me. You don’t get to tell me how you should feel about my heritage, my parentage, my siblings, or anything.

Your feelings on biology are not universal. Why do you get to think they are? Who are you?[/quote]

Strongly agree. I think it's selfish for people to have donor-conceived children while denying them the truth. It's selfish to discourage or oppose donor-conceived children learning about their biological siblings or bio parent, should they have an interest. This should be the child's choice. To do otherwise is highly problematic and will cause trust problems and resentment down the road, as the truth usually comes out. [/quote]
