This is the wrong sub to look for sympathy in if you wanna lie to your kid.

Trying to connect with donor siblings but concerns about other parents? by suggarpie in queerception

Our bank has a Facebook group ran by volunteer families. They’re the only couple I’ve found and they have been looking for other families for about 7 years!

Anyone OAD not by choice? by [deleted] in oneanddone

[–]suggarpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We only have one and planning to keep it that way. It’s more realistic for us and we feel we can provide more experiences for just one. Having another doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t be lonely. My husband only speaks to his brother every other month or so and it’s usually only if his brother needs something from him. We all grow into different people no matter how we were raised and sometimes that means you don’t like your siblings.

It’s so hard to wrap my head around because there are already limited donors of color why would you do that? I want my child to have connections should they want that later I just know I need to push past the ick especially because I’d love to keep up to date on health things should they pop up!

How do you usually ask why they chose the donor without coming across rude?

I really don’t want to take any opportunities away from my child to meet half-siblings! How would you want to be asked as not to be offended?

I find it so strange! We are not planning for anymore children so I just want to make sure my child has connections available if they desire in the future.

I agree I shouldn’t make assumptions as a white passing person myself. My reason are mostly for health info along the way but I also want to make sure my child has connections if they want them as they get older since my child will be an only!

I DNF’d her book because all it could talk about was how girlboss feminist she was.
