[quote=Anonymous]Telling young children that they came from a donor egg is telling them something fundamental about themselves....telling a child details about IVF is telling her something about YOUR medical procedure - I see that as a crucial difference. Also, keep in mind that IVF is often unsuccessful. Even if you warn her otherwise, I would imagine that your daughter would get her hopes up if she knew what you were trying to do....even those of us who are old enough to know better still get our hopes up much higher than we should. It's really heartbreaking to get a negative result, especially after going through all of the work of a cycle. I'd recommend sparing your kiddo as much of that as you can.[/quote]
