    Love this! Education is the key to acceptance for most things and talking about different family structures is so important for young people to know about (and older people too it seems!). Thank you for sharing your story.

    There needs to be regulation on number of live births by one donor.

    It is not that. It is that males nowdays don't want kids, or marriage. Most of solo Mums want traditional life, but they were deceived, or not even told by a male that he wanted to get married and start a family. The more decent ones start with telling women that. So the only way to have an as traditional family as possible is that women create a family on their own.

    I'm thinking about having a baby through a donor. I'm very scared that i will harm my child with trauma, but I'm running out of time, I'm almost 40. Please if you're a donor child please let me know your experience. ❤ thank you.

      Not a donor child but I will say that literally anything could be traumatizing. Your child might have different experiences and issues, but raising them through that and helping them navigate life is part of parenting.

    Ah this is really good...
    Education is key. Something a few of the dinosaurs on here could do with opening their minds a little. (Also they could do with not speculating the circumstances). If a lady is widowed and raises her children single handed she is a warrior and society accepts it. No one insists she goes out and gets a replacement human to help her raise the kids. Why would someone if they chose to do have kids on their own not be considered a warrior also!?

    it is misleading, family are the bonds created by love and affection, by everyday life, when a parent sees you grow up, takes you to the doc, to school, gets sad and happy with you... that is family. Not the produce of an insemination through an anonymous donor. That is genetics, not family.

      it can be family! my family is defined by both those who are blood related to me (and those who i met through blood relation, including those through my anonymous donor) and those who have loved me and raised me. it's who we chose to love as family!

      @@taliabraver likewise .... a cell does not define family. A donor is someone who isn't willing to become a father or a mother. If so, they would actively find ways to do so.
      They are just donors. Mother and father are something really different.
