Expecting 2/23/2013
My partner and I are expecting a baby in Feb 2013. We are excited and look forward to meeting other half siblings!
Comments
I was really hoping to do most of the carrying but due to my fertility issues, she is stuck with it.
We did pick out a name but haven't shared with anyone yet. Still looking for a good middle name!
We have US photos online if you're interested in comparing an sharing!
We will continue to try. We have one vial left of this donor. So hopefully this next baby sticks for us.
We are expecting a baby with this donor in late November and were curious about half siblings. You said you were due in February of this year. How are things going, Threeatms?
Best of luck in your last trimester!

My partner and I are unsure about being in touch with other families now but want to keep that door open. And of course our daughter will make her own choices later.
Mainly I am posting here because I want to keep lines of communication open. We know that the donor is being retired because 25 families have now had pregnancies. We have 1 vial and will soon try to settle the question of whether to try for a second child or pass the vial on to another of these families.
Our daughter turned out so great, we'd hate for this vial to go to waste!
The invite to share pictures is open if/when you decide to reach out. Of course, we are not looking to travel or create life-long bonds but if one day our son is interested, we would like to have some "distant" siblings that he can reach out to.
We are definitely planning to have a second but are somewhat concerned that we may run out of vials before we get a positive. Please let me know if anyone has any vials available as we are interested in purchasing them.
Thanks!
My wife and I are expecting our baby on September 14, 2014. This will be our first and we seriously could not be more excited! Now we are anxiously wanting to find out the sex! Looking forward to connecting with fellow Donor 4207 families!
New to the forum. Our little Boy was born on 11/13/13 at 33 +1 weeks (7 weeks premature)! We had quiet an adventure through his early birth and 3 week NICU stay. Every day is an amazing journey! He just turned 6 months old yesterday and is happy and healthy. I had found a few of you on facebook before but it is nice to know there is a place everyone can come and find out how the 1/2 siblings are doing.
I just wanted to throw it out there.... My partner and I are starting to plan for our next (we want at least two) and realized the error we made in not securing more of the donor sperm to make a full sibling for a little guy. Do any of you have extra or left over vials that you won't be using that we could acquire? We are desperately seeking and we are both saddened that neither of us thought of this really when we first conceived our little guy back in April 2013.
I know it is a long shot but if any of you can help us out you can contact me through this post- directly at maggie.sampson@gmail.com and we can get it figured out.
thank you all and it is so great to hear there are other little cuties from this donor out there. His generous donation has made for some seriously cute babies!!
Have a great day!
Maggie
I am friends with a few on fb but if anyone else would like to join, you are welcome to send me an email and i will add you!
Vicky
Thanks all!
If you are on fb, the group 4207 may be a good place to start as we already have a few families on there now. It is a secret fb group so feel free to email me and I can connect you.

Thank you and I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday season!
Sincerely,
Maggie D. (Formerly S.)
Just also wanting to connect with others who have siblings to my bubby due in August this year (I'm currently 14 weeks pregnant). Threeatms I am going to send you an email so that we can connect on Facebook, hope that is okay.
