Counseling for the Husband?

Hi Everyone! We are nearly positive that using a donor is what we want to do, but as you can imagine, my husband is unsure about how he is going to handle this. My husband has cystic fibrosis and after extensive testing and sperm retrieval, sperm was found! We were ecstatic only to get a call a few days later that even though sperm was found, it was dead. We have decided we want to actually go through the process of being pregnant, so we would much rather use a donor than adopt. This post is really for the husbands out there... How did you feel knowing it wasn't really biologically your child, but it was your wife's? My husband keeps saying "Ya know of course I would love to think I'd be fine with it and I will love it all the same, but who knows how I'll really be feeling when everyone in the hospital room is saying: Ohhh he/she looks just like Anthony and in my head I'm thinking: No she doesn't." I guess another part of our story you should know is that we only plan to tell our closest friends and family, so not everyone will know it's not his. Can any husbands out there who have been through this lend some advice for Anthony? Is the bond and connection still there??
