With Deep Sadness

To All of The Children Conceived Through Sperm Donors,

I have read some of your stories and am deeply saddened. You seem to be so angry and upset over not knowing half of your biological side. You have encouraged me to not use donor technology. My partner can’t have children because he had cancer as a child. We would love to experience the process of child birth and having children but many of these stories seem to point to adoption as a better option. I don’t want to rob myself of the experience of having children but apparently not conceiving or bringing children into the world through donor sperm would be better. Is it though ? Though you may be angry would you rather the alternative, of not existing at all ? To discourage many women like myself from bringing children like you into the world in the first place ?

Thanks for the reality, you have saved a child from being born into sorrow.
