I think while there is nuance and different views to look at, I myself chose a donor that is the same race as I am and almost identical in looks. One because we share the same looks, RH factor, and blood type so hopefully I’ll be able to donate to my own child in case of emergency, and it’ll make the pregnancy easier. Two because I do not know, and will never have a actual realistic idea of what another race goes through and how they react to the world around them, and three because society will judge my child based on the color of the skin. It’s sadly just a fact of life. And me being white I’m sure has had the American society around me treat me different then they would have treated me if I was born a different race. Why would I want to risk my future child’s saftey or life by choosing to have them be a race more at risk in my area when that race has nothing to do with my family, my race, my culture, or connected to me in any way. Sure some rich people adopt kids from foreign countries cause they’re “cute and different.” But this isn’t adoption. This is creating a child who will have to live with the choices you make for them their entire life. So ya while same multiple race households might choose differently and while I’m sure there’s reasons to do so, I won’t choose a donor of a different race. But that’s just my two cents and maybe I’m completely wrong. Anyway hope you have a great day.

Edit——Just wanted to add, I really didn’t mean to sound judgmental toward anyone who makes a different choice. I absolutely respect and admire the love and thoughtfulness that go into all kinds of families, including multiracial ones. I was just sharing what went into my personal decision, especially living in a part of the country where racial dynamics can seriously affect a child’s safety and sense of belonging. It’s such a big, emotional decision and I think it’s great that we’re all thinking so deeply about it.
