George is just one of those people you immediately love. The Great "Unifier".

I know this is a four year old video but I just wanted to say how soul touched I was when Julia’s mom said she felt a connection to Julia’s siblings! That a child could be loved so much that it could include the others just brought me to tears. What an exceptional human being! ❤

At least the Father won the genetic lottery, because his kids are gorgeous.

The thing I want to express here is how similar these kids are in terms of intelligence, socialization, genuine warmth and concern. They ARE already a family. Now they just need to get to know each other for a closer bond. Amazing story!

The beautiful moment for me is when she met her siblings. I could feel her happiness as well theirs.

I know a woman who donated her eggs once while she was in college. She needed money for books. She recently met the 25-year-old twins (a male and a female) that resulted from her donation. She says there are many similarities between them and her younger son, who is thrilled to have siblings.

It can be overwhelming to donors to have a lot of donor children too. That’s why they should lower the family limits across the board and closely monitor them. It’s ridiculous to give one person 20+ children or siblings! 🙄

The mothers beautiful open questions to her daughter...wow!! What an amazing mom!

My heart goes out to all the children searching for their bio parents.😢It must be so hard at times wondering about them. They need to regulate how many children can be conceived by one donor! This could all end very badly I love the way the children got together and I pray they can all find love in their large family!

I am struck by the beauty of them all and the fact they all seem very intelligent and decent people, reflecting the attitudes and demeanor of the Donor! I appreciate the integrity of the donor in that he openly and honestly assessed his feelings at the time he didn't the donation. Being just 19 years old, you would not expect him to think of it as a noble deed for mankind or anything like that.

You look like him but your mom is your family. She raised you. I love the siblings .they look like a cool crowd and i can see lifelong friendships being made

This is such a heartwarming video. Julia and her entire family seem to be beautiful human beings. I wish them every happiness.

My twin brother and I also grew up with two moms. Our dad got another girl pregnant while our mom was and chose to go with her.

Throughout human history many children lost parents in childhood. The fortunate ones found surrogate parents to provide them with both physical and emotional sustenance. The unlucky ones ended up in orphanages or worse. Raising a child with love and care in a healthy home could never be criminal. On the other hand, too many children living with their biological parents are abused - that, in fact, is criminal.

Yes and no. As an adoptee - my Dad who raised me will always be my Dad. That said, he was not my biological father - who I searched for, and found, when I was in my 60's and he was in his 80's. I've met him and he and his family were welcoming. I always felt my Mom and Dad who raised me gave me my heart and my soul - my biological parents gave me my flesh and my blood. Others may feel differently - but I felt I needed both to feel complete.

This is just soooooooo adorably sweet. I am so touched by this video and so happy for these children who are adults now.

We all have a journey, most of it we have no say in. I was adopted and only had the chance to meet my dad once before he passed away. I definitely relate to the girl who has 2 donor parents. I love my adopted family and my birth family. I even Got to have a sister night last night with some of my half sisters! Finding where you biologically come from is a tough road, so happy to see she has the bond with the siblings! Thanks Julia for the honor of witnessing you and your journey 💜

George was just so great , really feel for them as hard to get your head around ..but being loved is the most important thing ,Having your biological parent around if they do not get on can be a nightmare ..as George says this could be the thing of the future ..I wish them all happiness and that they can build their own foundation of strength as well as the love of the person that brought them up .

​@@sunnywintermorning1941 That's ok, I can answer that. Personally I'm very content with how I came to be, but I know that not everyone feels that way. For me it's what I've always known. My mum is a single mother by choice, I was raised by her and her father - my granddad - we all live together. Apparently when I started meeting other children and they had daddies, I asked if I had a daddy and my mum explained. I don't remember that though, I've known about it for as long as I can remember, and always known I could never meet him (he was anonymous). However I knew I might have half siblings that I could meet once I was 18 if they also wanted to, and when I was about 7 my mum enquired about them on my behalf, that was when I found out how many of each sex were born each year. I don't remember the exact details, but I remember there were about 21 or 22 in total, a good mix of boys and girls, and some younger some older. I turned 18 in January, but I haven't gotten around to applying to find them yet... I've been meaning to haha, just haven't gotten around to it yet. But yeah, I'm very happy with the way it is. Shortly after I was conceived, they changed the law in the UK so that sperm donors couldn't be anonymous. Personally I think they made the wrong decision with that. I've liked the certainty of always knowing that I would never know him, I think it would be so weird to meet him, or even know that I could and try and figure out how to decide that... I think if I had the choice and I chose not to I would always wonder, whereas knowing it's not possible I can easily dismiss it. My mum and my granddad are all I need for parental figures, and I just think it would be really weird... even though I guess he wouldn't really be a "dad" to me, I still think it would be really weird. On the other hand, I have always wanted siblings, and I'm really looking forward to meeting them. I think that's a lot less weird, as we're equals, and also they weren't in any way involved in creating me. I think meeting some stranger whose decision was essential for me to exist would be super trippy. I like him feeling almost hypothetical. I like the way I've grown up so much, that I think I also want to have children through an anonymous sperm donor... which as things stand now I guess I'd have to go to another country for, which is really a pain. For me personally I feel that having children is something so important that I would hate to share parental rights with anyone else... if tough decisions have to be made, I want them to be mine to make (along with the child if they're old enough). I couldn't bare someone else having any kind of rights to my children. I've known people for whom that has gone very badly. Obviously a donor wouldn't have any rights, but they are still the biological father, which I think does mean something, and I'd also like them to grow up with the certainty that I had, to know who your family are and be able to easily dismiss this anonymous hypothetical figure, and not have to grapple with possibly one way actually knowing them. Any further questions are welcome. 😊I actually quite like talking about it.

As this is social media, I had no idea I was writing to someone so young. I’m old enough to be your father; although a youngish father. I’m an oldish father to very young children. I’m fairly traditional, so we’re very different. I think of traditional marriage as being the best institution to raise children in. I didn’t want to father a child before marriage. Raising children in lifelong partnership with the other parent seems best to me. I think knowing one’s parentage is a moral right.

@@sunnywintermorning1941 Thank you for such a sweet reply! I hope your children are doing well. I loved growing up in a multi-generational household, and I hope my mum will be to my children like my granddad was to me. I'm also not opposed to having a life partner one day if I find someone I want to spend my life with, just not somebody who has rights to my children. Maybe someone who has kids of their own so we can raise them side by side. That's all very hypothetical though as I'm very single right now. But for me finding a person is a separate issue to being ready for children. I've always known I want children, I remember in early primary school telling a friend I definitely wanted children, and that's never changed. I really wanted a younger sibling, but that wasn't up to me and my mum didn't, but having kids of my own is up to me and something I definitely want to do. I'm not in a position to yet, but I'm hoping maybe mid twenties if everything goes as planned... but things often don't haha so we'll see! Anyways God bless you too.

Surely that’s a human right ideally. I can’t imagine hearing from my parent ‘I was strapped for cash is why I donated my sperm’. Not that it takes away from the daughters existence- she’s obviously wanted by the mothers, but it’s just not fair imo creating these un-ideal circumstances! Loads of kids exist that could be adopted so to me, using sperm or egg donations is narcissism as they put their insistence on passing on their genes over actually giving a child a wonderful life! And using donor egg or sperm (especially anonymous!!) immediately takes away a relationship of a mother/father. Creating these circumstances is SELFISH, even if they are good parents !!!!

Genetics are a lot more powerful than most people realize. They recognize each other because they are each other. The one girl who was the product of two donors lived with the reality of that until she et the siblings. Really sweet for all of them that they got to meet.

Genetics play a big role. From experience, you don’t have to be raised by someone to turn out like them. It was good to see the donor dad was kind, trying to figure his feelings in the whole thing. And knowing his donor children were all smart, kind.. etc. ❤

Interesting video which made me have mixed feelings. Happy that the young woman was able to meet her donor father and her half-siblings. But now people have to be even more careful about with whom they have children as they may actually be closely related.

All these children in young age are amazingly good looking 👌🏼❤️

As the donor said " family is such a broad term"

Beautiful story…feeling the warmth and love in such an unusual circumstance…mysterious …what a gift of life!!!
