    I have a friend that's in a relationship with her partner. They have laughed and shed a few tears over this fact. Though my friend had a daughter previous to their relationship. May I suggest using the face match option, for either of you who's going to be momma2. As well as looking for heritage traits that are in yourself, that can possibly be carried on to the child.

    It will be love at first sight, don't worry. We decided to get pictures of the donor and one toddler picture looked like me so we knew we had picked the right one. Now our daughter is 3 and many people think I had her! Genetics doesn't make you a good mom, just be there for your partner but let her know your feelings. I had some of the same and my wife totally understood. She had some of the same feelings of having some strange persons sperm inside of her. It is a very strange thing but at the end I hope you get the best gift in life!

    My partner had the EXACT same feelings - the way we dealt with it was for her to be the primary 'searcher' for the sperm donor. She is the one who narrowed it down and ultimately chose the donor, and she chose someone with similar physical characteristics to herself. Also she went to the dr.'s office and was the one who did the deed when it was time to inseminate (they put the cathetar in place and she did the honors, pushing the plunger). So when I got pregnant it made a big psychological difference, and she really felt like she had 'done' it, because literally she had! Our son is two now, and everyone says he looks a lot more like my partner than me. :)
