[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any donor egg mothers have children that are now teenagers or older? I’m interested in how older children process the news that they are not genetically related to their mother.[/quote]

I can't directly answer your question but I know of similar circumstances. [b]A friend of mine was a GC using her own eggs two times for two different families[/b]. Those children are now a pre-teen and a young teen. Both the children know the truth of their origins and are happy and well-adjusted. My friend is on friendly, but not super close, terms with the families. She is fond of the children but on a friendly aunt level. She might FaceTime with them a couple times a year and sends birthday cards. She does not see herself as their mother but she is open to answering any questions they might have about their genetic history. Her view is that she fortunate enough to have healthy eggs that she wasn't doing anything with and there are great people out there desperately trying to have children so why not help out. She does have a child of her own.[/quote]

A Gestational Carrier using her own eggs?  You mean she agreed to conceive, carry and give away her own biological child to someone else for money!?  That's baby selling! [/quote]
