Anyone can create a child, not everyone can raise a child. It’s different if the dad wasn’t good or the dad wasn’t present, but a good dad who loves you, does the job well enough. You don’t need another dude to be in your life for that

    Although shows like the 'Jerry Springer Show' never detail this information: I would like for all of you commentators & fans out there to understand that (as can be easily seen by simply reviewing your closest relatives bodily hands) It is no coincidence that we are all genetically fingerprinted - coded differently. Although within four children (of the same biological mother and father), one child may be somewhat different by the leg - muscle structure, the hair texture, coloration of eyes & etc....; nevertheless, The hands represent the only body structure whereas 1/2 of the hands appearance is taken directly from the mother whereas the other half is taking directly from the father; thus, in general, if you as the biological children all have the same exact biological mother and father then your hands will be basically identical. Corruption can appear when one or more of the children have hands that are totally different from the hands of the other siblings. It's sort of like a DNA checklist.

    Hey, hey 👋🏼 Rare donor child, here! My parents told me at a young age I was not related to my dad, so I had time to process it as I grew older. It wasn’t until this past spring did I ask my mom for the donor file. At first, she hesitated, but I assured her I was mature enough to handle it. I was shocked at how much he wrote about him and his family. I cried at the amount of detail he put down. I believed he truly cared about his decision and future (unknown) children, so he left me and my 14 (and counting) half siblings with as much information as he could give while still remaining completely anonymous. It brought me closure and relief. I couldn’t help but notice a small, empty hole in my heart. When I look in the mirror, sometimes I try to pick out the features that aren’t my mom’s, so I can try to imagine what my donor father looks like. I wonder about my “other half”. I wonder what they look like, what their life is like, what their ancestral history is, etc. I’ve been asked by multiple people why I can’t do a DNA test. The answer is, I respect my donor father and his family’s privacy enough to not risk my profile showing up on their ancestry tree if they made an account. My mom, grandma, and cousin did DNA testing, so that’s as close as I can get to understanding my European and Middle Eastern heritage. Though I may never find out who he is, I have to remind myself that I’ve never known him personally. He didn’t raise me. He isn’t a dad- just a stranger related to me by blood.

He’s fully conscious that his bio child has a family and and I guess just wants to continue living his own life. He would come into contact if he wanted to see his child, and it seems it would cause confusion if either were to become part of the other’s lives. I like how the person who wrote respects their donor, and respects their wishes to just move on

    The thing is, when you have a child, things stop being about you. It's no longer his information to hide when it impacts the very life and body of his child. If he's a good father, he understands and respects that it's her body and her story to tell. Even if it makes a parent uncomfortable, a good parent respects their child's autonomy, particularly in this case when it's an insecurity he has versus literally the very cells that comprise his daughter's body and her right to know and have ultimate control over it. This mentality is the literal, explicit reason why I was never told, and it messed with me to know that the man who raised me cared more about hiding his insecurities than his child's right to know her own body

After that, they had 2 donor conceived children. One each of their biological child. That made their children genetically half cousins.

I learned that he and his father (my grandfather) both died of aortic embolism. I was immediately tested and sure as hell I had one that fortunately had not yet burst.

    Honestly... I couldn't go that far. I understand the curiosity. I may want to find out who my sperm donor was too. But to actually reach out and want to talk to him? One, he's a complete stranger. You aren't "reaching out to your dad" you are "interrupting the life of a stranger who helped your family out". Two, it feels like a slap in the face to the man who loved and raised you and calls you his daughter. "Oh sorry dad, I love you and all, but I gotta find my real dad". My dad isn't my biological. He was my step dad who adopted me. But maybe its different because I did for a short time in my life k ow my biological. I once thought of finding my biological, but then I realized how hard my dad hard to work to save me from that man and how hurtful it would be to him to just let that abuse person back into my life. I love my dad more then the desire to appease my own curiosity.

    I found it kinda rude to look for person who donated the sperm. There's a reason why those donations are nameless and soon if everyone can just start looking for people who have donated sperm etc. - there isn't going to be any donations. Big reason why so much sperm comes imported from Denmark to other countries is that you can do it there without nobody ever knowing who was the donor. They stay anonymous. Edit: I understand if person wants to know health wise about their genes but usually when you donate - you have to tell all you know about medical things in your family. That's enough information.. Don't hunt down a person who donated and wanted to stay anonymous - like I said before: That's the way to make people stop donate. That's why so many countries use Danish sperm. Oh well.. At least then there might be less babies born into the world and people actually adopt children. So go ahead.. Be rude and make people afraid to donate.

There's clearly something wrong with her and she's trying to fill some hole with this new "father" figure. I doubt it's going to actually fix whatever it is that drove her to act like a stalker in the first place.

    there is nothing wrong with her wanting to find out more about her biological father and where she came from, in fact that's her right, and she got lucky that her biological father was so understanding and was willing to form a relationship with her, and he agreed to do this interview. As for her dad who raised her, well he was barely mentioned and they blurred his picture in the video, maybe because he wanted his privacy. I'm sure she's not trying to replace her dad or intentionally wants to hurt her dad's feelings, she just wanted to know who her biological father was and just wanted to tell her story. And her biological father was already quite a public figure, he's a famous doctor apparently.

Some people are incapable of having biological children of their own, and it has been mentioned in this story that the dad was infertile so he could not have biological children of his own, that's why they decided to use a sperm donor. Sperm donors like this man has given other people the gift of becoming parents, who otherwise could not have biological children of their own. If you are so sympathetic to the dad who raised her, then you should actually be grateful to the sperm donor, because he is the reason that the dad was able to become a dad in the first place, the sperm donor gave the dad the chance to be a parent. So I'm sure the dad is grateful to the donor that he was able to raise a child that he could call his own. All of this would not have been possible without the sperm donor.

We are human and not always right or not always make the right decision we are not perfect.. Life is a learning lesson and there is no manual that tells us exactly the right thing.. I sit petrafied of how I am I going to screw up or how I'm going to do wrong by my kids I live in anxiety always wondering if I am doing the right thing and the most painful thong for me would have a child of mine feel like I did them wrong or screwed them up..

When the people who raise a child lie to them about who you are this can cause major trust issues (One might think if you lied to me about who my dad is what else are you lying to me about?

It's strange how parents don't tell these massive secrets to kids from the get go but I understand that it's really hard to explain to a child. I had a similar experience to this. When I was 16 I started questioning or family and why my mom never talked about her pregnancies and why she had sonograms of my brother and sister in the family photo album but none of me. It turned out I had a twin that sadly passed away before birth. I wasn't mad at my mom but I was quite distraught. The weird thing was that as a child I had an "imaginary friend" they were my twin. We went everywhere together. I would talk to them for hours and push her on the swing at the playground. I named her Angelina and she was in a wheelchair. It's like as a child I could sense the presence of my unborn twin. Its especially odd because my twin was in a wheelchair and if they were born they would have been very sickly with multiple abnormalities. Further down the line we found out that I have a progressive genetic disorder that is making me ill and now I have trouble walking. That's my secret family story. It's fascinating how aware young children are. Have a great day everyone.

    This is a situation that you can't possibly understand until you're in it. Sure, her dad raised her. He's her DAD. She's not denying him by simply wanting to know where she comes from. If you know who your biological parents are (or you THINK you do), then you should refrain from judging her decision to reach out to her bio family. I used to think like that, too. "Your parents are who raised you." And then I discovered that my bio father was a sperm donor. Not only are there medical implications (I discovered I was Ashkenazi Jewish, which meant I was at a higher risk for a gene that causes breast cancer), but there is so much of your life that finally makes sense when you discover who your bio parent is.

    Yes but you can find out the medical implications (or a lot of them) through the tests, you don't need to contact or start a relationship with the bio parents for that. Also, these "things" only makes sense because you want it to. There are lots of biological parents and children that have very different interests/personalities so just because you are interested in something that your bio parent is, it doesn't need to be some magical connection. But hey, I was adopted and don't know my bio parents (with zero chance of finding out who they are) and I am a lot like my adoptive parents -- just goes back to the nature vs. nurture debate. tldr; I don't think it's necessary to form a relationship/have contact with them especially in the case of a sperm donor (not an adoptive situation where you might want to know the story/parent might regret it)

    @@terrybatman US can be a big country but is not like people from NY are getting donations from LA... also is pretty often young people go to college far from home so everything could happen. Even with a small chance, if they care for their kids and don't want they suffering in the future the right thing to do is be honest.

    How could you do that to your dad? The man who raised you, who couldn't have children. That's terrible that you put your father through that. I have no interest in knowing my sperm donor and neither do my siblings. My dad was the 1 who raised us. Not who out his DNA in a cup

    If you watch the whole story they give bio dude the title of uncle. Dad is still dad.

    Balder Grude so what?? EVERYONE has the right to know how their bio father or mother is. Its the person who created you. Their blood runs in your veins. Looking for your bio father doesn’t mean you don’t see your adoptive father as your real father.

    This is so similar to my story! I found out who my bio-dad was through Ancestry. He didn't do Ancestry but his sister and nieces did and they told him about me and we met in a very similar way. It's like discovering a new person that you are connected to but you are trying to make connections with. It definitely is an interesting journey.
