My boys have known they were donor babies since they were tiny. At 10 & 12, they just now think they might want to meet their donor, who is open to it. I never wanted to hide who they were, or the great gift that allowed me to have them. I have never hidden who the donor was, have pics for them and keep in touch with their older half siblings. I feel for the girl who never knew, what a gut punch, but I know why her parents did what they did.
Everybody in this documentary has my thumbs up. To me, the biological father was the one that delivered this miracle. His noble action brought the joy of life to a family that could not conceive. The joy and the hardship of bringing up a child could not and would not have been realistic without the biological father gift and selflessness.
it is different with lesbians than with heterosexual couples... at 8 years old, a child would not understand and say weird things to his friends, so you start seeding hints
This is amazing! I'm having a baby with a donor too, if everything goes well. He/she will know that he/she has been conceived with the help of a donor, but I am just so happy that these type of things are so common nowadays.
You can still be angry and hurt but decide to maintain a relationship with your parents even after discovering such a big lie. She has had a few years to process the shock and anger.
I'm not being critical or judgmental, but I felt a little sad for these lovely young women when I realized how underwhelmed & seemingly unemotional their bio Father was at meeting them...I expected him to be a bit warmer & more interested in getting to know them & learning about their lives & interests...I imagine it was somewhat more awkward for him in the beginning...Anyway, I hope they'll eventually have an enduring friendship & a sense of a special "connection" among them...
Grant may look uninterested in the video but what they didn’t say in the video was that Carlie and I had been messaging and FaceTiming with Grant for months prior to our in person visit
Imagine being filmed for such an important event in your life, especially when it looks like his life was pretty private or small. I think he did well! ❤
II think he did a great effort in accommodating his two, newly found treasures and bringing them into his emotional world. He strikes as being a very tactful man of great finesse.
I don't think she did. She seemed really uncomfortable at that part of the video. Plus, she is on camera. Most people don't want to act a fool on camera.
@@Sweetyhide you right...she did look uncomfortable. But her podcast would be off the roof...it she kept it 💯. People want authenticity. This happened to my aunt ...aka..my mom bedt friend, but she was adopted. She found out she was adopted in her late 40s; again her mother was gonna take it to the grave. Let me just say that she went missing for 3 weeks , left kids, husband and would only talk to my mother her best friend. People gotta know where they come from. She questioned her skin color, eyes, build, everything and they always had a story from what my mom told me. People know.....why else you do a test...it's somatic.
@@DC45193 dang. Sorry about your aunt. That is messed up. I agree! People need to know as soon as they are able to comprehend. I took a DNA test but I didn't think I was adopted. I did it to find my heritage. My family always said there was Indian blood in our family. Somebody lied somewhere! 😆 So there are other reasons to take a test.
Crypto investment has brought me great success. Regardless of the economy depression I can boast of $8,000 each week from my investments. All thanks to Mrs Jessica Ann Abrego
Earlier this year, she predicted that Bitcoin would drop to $18,000. I never believed it until I saw it happen. It was a great opportunity to buy the dip.
This dad was being very cautious, and its obvious that these girls don't regard him as being a key person in their lives or he in theirs. Its a classic example of a lack of values of fathers.
Well just imagine you are like 60 years old and two strangers say hi we’re your daughters lol😁 You wont be able to feel like a mom or anything. As a matter of fact, it will give a more “strange” vibe than emotional one. I think he explained it pretty well, he said he has genetic ties with them and not a parenting role. The fact that he was open and welcoming towards them in the first place was far than enough.
@@Yasi_nzi My reading from the pictures is that he must have prepared his emotions too. He is, obviously, a highly intelligent man. I found him there, as a very warm person. I am sure that in the same circumstances i would be a wreck. He handled the whole air time brilliantly.
We definitely see him as more of an Uncle than a father figure. I had a father and a step father - there isn’t a void that needed filling. It is like finding lost family but we definitely don’t have a father/daughter connection in the traditional sense!
@@carliemcmaster8065 what a wonderful way to view it! It’s so neat that you get to be a part of each others lives and that you are and we’re so wanted in this world by everyone who gave you life and sustained your life 🥰❤️ If you choose to have your own children you will be a wonderful mother!
This story is very different to the mothers who told their children from an early age that they were from a sperm donor. Those cases have a far greater chance of meeting their real dad.
They were expecting a lumberjack and got a guy who looks exactly like a guy who would repeatedly go back to a government building to look at old pern and have tug time. Then he’s like, this is a clinic? 🤷🏿😂
Both the biological mothers unfortunately show almost contempt for the child's right to know they raised their daughters subject to that underlying lack of values and, lack of honesty. After watching this video several times, it gives meaning as to why the father agreed to be on video and his subdued reaction. Its hard to tell if this was from the girls or the father but the mother's underlying obvious lack of values is disturbing. Some sperm donor dads do not want to be involved or are very cautious about being involved. That varies a great deal to the success stories we see where the children and their biological dads go on to great rewarding relationships. Lets hope these girls and their dad get to have their relationship.
Imagine he gets ticked off about something and on the first day they meet he says something like:
“Because I’m your father and I said so..”
And imagine they be like “Oh yeah? Then we’ll sue for back child support!”
Lol doesn't work like that

You are smart to be honest with them,that would freak a person out if they found out later in life.
It's absolutely amazing what people are able to do today vs years ago 😊
They look alike,,, wish them the best!!!

The joy and the hardship of bringing up a child could not and would not have been realistic without the biological father gift and selflessness.
I think it's a lot tougher to keep it a secret it's better to be honest as soon as possible.

Me and my 15 bio siblings that I’ve never met would blow a video like this up 😂

On the amount of comments you leave maybe you should get a job first
@@Speedyskull15 You are hilarious. I honestly don't know what your problem is. Fyi, I do have a job, and a pretty good one too 😉
@@Speedyskull15 seek help for your misery
Such a beautiful story ☺️
Props to the brown haired one because i could never forgive my parents for keeping something like this a secret from me
You can still be angry and hurt but decide to maintain a relationship with your parents even after discovering such a big lie. She has had a few years to process the shock and anger.
Life is to short to stay angry, you have to put yourself in the other person’s shoes to try and understand the situation.
This was a beautiful thing ❤
These secrets these mother’s keep from their children haunt them for life. Don’t hold the truth back from your children, it’ll cause way more harm.
The child wonder, what else do you hide from me ?
They have the same laugh, it's making me emotional about how I have the same laugh with my sister 🥹
Funny. The same impression sits with me after watching this priceless video.
May God bless them ❤️

He's not technically their father. He's not obligated to get to know them, he's just a sperm donor. He owes these girls nothing. That was the deal
Grant may look uninterested in the video but what they didn’t say in the video was that Carlie and I had been messaging and FaceTiming with Grant for months prior to our in person visit
You must have watched a different video. And I'm sure only minutes of a MUCH longer visit were shown... 🤷♀️

I don't know about taking to grave.....the brown head girl took this way better then I would.

Hello from London
I. Glad you both meet each other and then found your bio dad even though one dad dad pasted away he would be proud of you sweetie
Thank you ❤
Your so welcome sweetie
My greatest happiness is the bi-weekly profit of $43,000 that I consistently make on my $7,000 investment despite economic fluctuation.
Crypto investment has brought me great success. Regardless of the economy depression I can boast of $8,000 each week from my investments.

Trading with an expert is the best for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor the trades
@Peggy lisa Oh please, how can someone talk to Mrs. Jessica Ann Abrego?
Thanks, I also needed her information
I will write her
Earlier this year, she predicted that Bitcoin would drop to $18,000. I never believed it until I saw it happen.
It was a great opportunity to buy the dip.
Congratulations
you turn the tides......fall in love ladies with boyfriends, get married and change the lives of your generations....

Cute girls!!! ✨💖✨
This dad was being very cautious, and its obvious that these girls don't regard him as being a key person in their lives or he in theirs. Its a classic example of a lack of values of fathers.
I’m sad for the parents who raised donor’s children.
100% selfish to not tell your child that they were donor conceived. smh
at the same time you need to accept that the mother felt as she had to because of the fact she signed a (possibly legal) document
These mothers knew the donor was willing to be contacted, and the mother's failed to tell their daughters until they were adults.
I can't imagine having children et threw them.Some parents make children without worrying about them.
The guy wasn't so emotional😶😔

This is soo weird. Why would a man want to do this? He is really their father and their connection as father/daughter is real.
right

@@mariaannhayes3257 thank you Maria! 🥰
He probably wanted to help people that can't have children. You didn't think of that? There father is the person that raised them.
Crazy how the child has zero rights in this. That is so very wrong.
Don't you consider your daddy to be the one who raised you and was there for you?
Of course. Your parents are the ones that raised you.
No lie this is interesting
Dads kooky
❤
Great turnout,!
Being jewish is not a race it a religion but that’s awesome that you two found one another threw DNA blood match 😃👍🏼
Jewish is a race and also a religion❤️
It’s listed as Jewish in the DNA testing - we were reading our full background 😊
@@heyitsryleehall no Jewish isn't a race, it's a religion.
The white jews and black jews aren't the same race.
@@maryjs4878 If jewish is only a religion then why is it showing up on BOTH of the DNA tests I've done?
@@heyitsryleehall the white Jewish DNA is different from the black Jewish DNA. Is Christianity a race? No it's not.

Nice folk
Wasn't there a story about a sperm donor being sued for child support?
hope you will take care and be dad to day
Sperm donation and egg donation should be banned.
Adoption should be encouraged.
