[quote=Anonymous]My DE children are 22. Back then it was rare and you had to be screened and specially selected (I laugh about that now but then the donors egg seemed more important than anything ) So many patients so few donors. 
There was no hope for me clinically and the doctor suggested it. At first I couldn’t wrap my thoughts around it, but we had just finished our adoption home study. So that was not so different than DE  and I felt I had more control. 
It helped that my DH is very accomplished and an athlete who had gone through loss after loss with me. I wanted a child with him and although I was sad about not having a genetic tie there was no cure for that. 
When our twins were born I knew this was the best decision we could possibly have made. 
I am amazed, so proud of them and I just love them so very much. I still have a sense of wonder that it turned out so well. 
We decided to hold off telling them. 
Some 90+% of donor sperm keep that private. Why should a woman be held to a different standard ? It’s a private matter and we wanted that after everything.
I am very glad we made that decision. We told them when they turned 18. They are completely fine with it. [/quote]
