Does nobody else think that it's crazy that we live in a world where there's such a thing as the Donor Sibling Registry?
The focus of the Donor Sibling Registry (DSR) is to assist individuals conceived as a result of sperm, egg or embryo donation who are seeking to make mutually desired contact with others with whom they share genetic ties. This may include:Here's a question: what happens if two people, descendents from the same sperm donor through different mothers, fall in love without realizing they're related, and get married, and it's later discovered that they're related, can their marriage be declared illegal?
Their own or their child's half-siblings, or
their own or their child's sperm or egg donor, or
their own genetic offspring.
The DSR fully supports openness, honesty and the acknowledgement of these family connections. We realize, however, that some folks may want to remain anonymous while sharing important medical or genetic information with their fellow "donor families". For these people, we suggest using a throw away untraceable email address.
Egg, sperm or embryo donors who are willing to have contact with the children born as a result of their donations are VERY WELCOME! Even if you do not know your donor number, it is still possible to search and be found.
