      A donor is not a biological mother. The biological development occurs in the womb. A donor is a genetic relative because of shared genes. Like a cousin or an aunt have some shared genes. Cell replication occurs in the womb. I am just sharing because this is the terminology used in the reproductive field.

    Everyone complaining about her being "intrusive" needs to take a chill pill. She waited until the kids were 20 years old. This means that they are fully grown independent adults and can choose how much or how little they wish to see the donor mother.
    If she contacted them when they were in high school it would be a different matter but the kids are fully developed and quite capable of understanding that their mother is the woman who raised them and sacrificed for them.

      Especially since she didn’t contact them. She wasn’t even able to.

    This isn't the feel-good story that the video makes it out to be. When you become an egg donor, you waive your rights to any offspring born from your donated eggs. This woman is intruding on a family she has no right to reach out to. Those kids might carry her genes, but she is not their mother, and she shouldn't be pursuing a relationship with them. She should have had her own kids if she wanted to be in a maternal role so much. It would have been a different story if the kids were the ones who initially sought out their egg donor, but that isn't the case. If I were the birth mother, I would feel upset that the donor is overstepping her bounds and trying to wedge herself into my family.

      Also, The Fertility Industry doesn’t keep track of the health of egg donors. Because they tend to have significantly higher chances getting cancer and infertility among other issues (not something they want the broke college girls they prey on to know about). Also…she might have been unable to have children of her own, because she donated eggs.

    I was adopted by an American soldier & his wife while they were stationed in Japan. My bio-mother was a Japanese nurse & bio-dad was another US Army member. I have located both of my bio-parents. Mother is still in Japan & very receptive to reconnecting. My bio-father doesn't wish to meet me or my daughter. I have reached out to an aunt (his sister) and her daughter/granddaughters. The younger ladies were happy & excited. Sadly though, my aunt won't communicate with me (even in private) because she doesn't want to "upset her brother" (my dad). I have two half brothers on that side who know of me but like our aunt, they won't reach out because of our father. Mind you, I want nothing from him other than family info & history. I'm not after his pension or any other monetary & material gains. For whatever reason, he is still hiding from his past. So I have one parent overseas who wants to meet me (& her only granddaughter) but due to distance, travel costs & restrictions just can't make it over here (& vice versa). My father's family are all living in the same area, which is just a 2+ day road trip away.

      @@freestylegamingartist8192​​⁠​​⁠I can understand if someone was adopted. But usually the whole point women use donors is so they can know what it’s like and finally have a baby they can call theirs. The donors are anonymous for a reason. I just hope this mom at least thought of the chance her kids will meet their bio mom because many don’t. They just think it’s a done deal and that’s it. Idk her story but I struggle with infertility and for this reason I do not want to adopt or use a donor egg. It would be a heartbreaking reminder of what I couldn’t do and I would feel like I have nothing of my own all over again. It’s so easy for others to say just adopt or use a donor egg, but they don’t realize the complex trauma, stress, grief (over a life that never existed) and heartbreak do to a person, it’s mental and physical, especially if a woman had a miscarriage on top of all that. Even if they have a miracle baby, they are never quite the same. Of course everyone will be different but many are in this boat. Anyways, I just hope everyone is cool in this situation, the fact that the mother went looking for them rather than the kids rubs me the wrong way. Hopefully all is truly well and as someone said to each their own.

    I understand her longing but she should have only responded if the kids were looking for her. She didn’t disclose health information out of concern, she did it in order to create a relationship with the kids. She kind of broke the contract in away and it’s a little manipulative. The fact that she feels s sense of entitlement to “her kids” is psychologically not healthy, these kids have a real mom that raised them. Anyone who has raised a child knows that biology doesn’t give one the title of parent. Parenting is hard work, being a fun friend to the kids is easy.

      @@nabaninandi4140 so for you it dosnt matter who birth you and take care of you when you were a child?!?! So theoretically your egg donor can give you to someone, then after the birth toss you out to the street (or sell you to someone) and after 20 years when you start earning money return demanding you call her mother and you will be ok with that?!? are YOU serious?! If machine birth the baby than whoever take care of that baby is its mother, that should be self explanatory

    The no husband, no kids, donating eggs while in law school sure sounds like a chaotic lifestyle of not wanting to do any of the heavy lifting of raising a family but now she goes on tv and broadcast the phrase "those are my kids"? Unbelievably intrusive, inconsiderate, and unethical. It's not like she grew those babies in her uterus and had to give them up for adoption. This has cluster-B traits written all over.

    Stop referring to the egg donor as the “biological mom”. She is not their “mother”. This is not akin to adoption where a woman carried a child, delivered it and then gave it up. The donor provided a cell…this does not make you a “mother”.

      Looks like she's getting along very well with her children. They live not far from each other so there will be more contact and maybe sleepover at her house in the future. Hopefully, the mother who raised the children would feel loved by her children as time passes. The biological mother is a spontaneous and outgoing person(lawyer) compared with their gentle, kind and selfless mother.

    What an awful story! That's why vast majority of people who want to use donor's egg are doing it not just in different city but out of State or even out of the country. In case not to ever be in situation where crazy egg donor decided to search for her egg donations! Unbelievable. This crazy egg donor woman is pushy, and obviously failed in every aspect of her life, and as she confirmed, she is lonely. Why interfere in some established family's dynamic? She has 0 relationship to them! 0. All she did, she sold her eggs for $3000-5000 20 years ago! Mother, older lady, probably used surrogate as well, based on her age, and she shouldn't be allowing crazy egg donor into their lives.

She did not spent adollar on these kids, didn't have sleepless night when they were ill, didn't took them to school, never attended their activities. That crazy nut woman WASN'T present in kids lives at all because all she was was a PAID EGG DONOR, and I am sure it was a contract. That clinic who released information of the family should have legal action against them. There are millions of families around the world have children through paid egg donations, and eggs donors don't come looking for families, because there are contract's conditions. Plus, women donate their eggs when they are young because of financial needs ( same as crazy nut featured in story) and prefer not to think about it when they adults. Unfortunately there always will be crazy nut like that looser woman.

Ok fine the mother who raised them was gracious enough to welcome her, and you don't meet that with this entitled attitude after you did basically what any baby daddy could do minus a hospital visit and a couple shots (egg harvesting). She should recognize how privileged she is that the mother is such a warm and generous person. If I were the kids I wouldn't be all "oh we laugh the same way! Thats so meaningful!"
