[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I appreciate the person above who said "parenthood isn't encoded in DNA". I haven't researched the science but I wonder if the reason why DE kids look like their moms is also strongly related to development. Clearly it's true that humans can share and teach each other facial expressions, body posture, and gestures. So in addition to coincidental or intentional similarities like hair and eye color of donor, kids are learning facial expressions from the mom that bore them. And that strengthens the resemblance and truly makes them even more your kid in looks. I like to read general science articles about "mirror neurons" Thread readers might look into that if interested.[/quote] My DE daughter and I have the same laugh and sense of humor. We started reading this book together when she was in preschool: https://www.amazon.com/Mommy-Was-Your-Tummy-Big/dp/0979276101 She’s in college now. I have asked her about her interest in finding the donor. She always replies, “no, I have my mom,” and hugs me.[/quote]
