donors 1887 & 2148 helped create my family.

My kids are 12 and 14 and I'm looking for links to their roots. They've recently learned about their conception, so now the search begins. They took the news really well, WAY better than I expected, I've wanted to tell them before now but their dad didn't agree until recently. No one had know this secret, save for our OBGYN best friend and my partner...no one! It has been a big load off my heart to tell them the truth. However, I now feel somewhat stressed that I have changed their lives yet again... first divorcing their dad, now this. I am so grateful they aren't mad or sad that they didnt learn of their creation until now. I know there may be fallout yet, but they are such wonderful, well balanced people .... I think they are taking the news in stride. My daughter has lots of questions and my son not so much.

Their biggest surprise was that they are not full siblings.

Now, I want to assist them in knowing more about their roots... if they decide they want to know. I would like to learn of any 1/2 sibs from donor 1887 and donor 2148. I have joined the closed groups for each of their donors as well, with no responses yet.

Thank you in advance. S

Hi, we have a 11 year old boy from 1887! Haven't told him yet like you I wanted to earlier and am worried how he will take it now that he's older. Was glad to read yours took it well.

I have an almost 16 year old son with donor 1887. He has known since he was very little about his donor. I have gone over the donor packet with him several times and he still asks questions from time to time.
