Donor 2732 - second child with different DS

We have one beautiful child, using donor 2732. She is my world. Unfortunately, 2732 is no longer listed as an active donor. We had initially only wanted 1 child but as our child hits her preschool years we are seriously considering bringing a second child into our family. Has anyone else had children from 2 seperate donors? How did you choose your second donor? If one child turned out to be more talented or beautiful- i fear that one may have an unfair genetic advantage over the other. I know it sounds crazy, i will love each child but i am concerned about their relationship (think Twins with Danny Divito & Arnold Schwarzenegger ).

I feel so guilty that i did not purchase more vials when i had the chance- like i am depriving my child a full biological sibling where neither would have a genetic advantage (other than those that naturally occur in nature). The other part of me thinks that a second donor would be a good idea - de-emphasizing the importance of the biological link and reinforcing the idea that what makes a family is not your genetics but your experiences, memories, love/emotions and the lifetime you share. I would like to hear from others that have faced this situation and get their insight and how it turned out for them. BTW- anyone holding onto unused samples from donor 2732- i would be interested :)
