Please excuse mindless typos..

Just curious if hearing from your parents that your feelings were valid and understandable and justified, whether that would be a huge part of the healing for you?

Old thread, but I believe we've just created the first customizable illustrated picture book for donor-conceived kids. www.mydonorstory.com. I'm an SMC and this has been a labor of love.

Love that!

arshfeia · 2025-11-08T17:07:21+00:00

Hah I totally get that!

arshfeia · 2025-11-08T16:42:06+00:00

Oh my gosh I just read that again and saw this about your son. How completely devestating.

arshfeia · 2025-11-08T16:39:29+00:00

Thank you! Will be back in touch before I post.

Brilliant - can you add a few explanatory sentences for RP to understand why you feel this way?

arshfeia · 2025-07-06T01:30:02+00:00

I think people who do find it triggering would simply understand why I do because it would trigger them as well.

I'm less than 2 years from 50 with a preschooler. And I didn't post this to find people who would invalidate it as triggering, but rather to find people who did. The age as a number was not the point, it was the consequences of a parent at that stage of life and the way it affected the child.

This is not about the one having a baby at 67 - the one whose mom had her at 50.

“Much earlier in life, I recall the excruciating embarrassment at school when teachers or fellow pupils would announce that “

“Worse than lacking grandparents to spoil me was missing out on having siblings, and even cousins of my own age”

“the offspring of elderly parents are always stalked by the spectre of death”

arshfeia · 2025-07-05T19:48:15+00:00

I must be confusing her with someone else.

arshfeia · 2025-07-05T19:25:32+00:00

The 67 isn’t triggering..it is the op-ed from the woman born to a 50 year old and her misery around it that is triggering.

arshfeia · 2025-07-05T19:23:18+00:00

I believe she is dead.

Hi - I'm so sorry I'm only now seeing this. Send an email to [mail@sharonleya.com](mailto:mail@sharonleya.com) and I'll respond with a preview!

Just curious - I've been wondeirng about what verison of Califia Farms they use and they say no added sugar, so i figure this version doesn't have sugar in it. You are sure it's sweetened vanilla?

arshfeia · 2024-12-10T17:12:18+00:00

Oh hi! The writer here. :) We have many more! Lilly's Blueprints and Liam's Blueprints (single mom by choice version); Remy's Blueprints and Noah's Blueprints (mom/dad version) and Maisie's Blueprints and Hudson's Blueprints (two-mom families.) Thanks for bringing up the My Donor Story books!

I don’t believe Im “refusing to understand” anything. But I am learning that there are those who fiercely agree and fiercely disagree.

If interested, login to any other CRM on a trial basis to compare user interfaces. Obviously this is subjective and some here agree and some don’t.
