First Experience with sperm donation

    Hi! My partner and I are having the same questions as you are. As a lesbian couple, it is not possible for us to produce sperm - so our situation is a little bit different. :D I will be carrying so we really wanted to use her brother's sperm. Our thinking was that our baby would have the same genes as my partner and would be more "ours" than using a donor. While at first this seemed like the best option, we started to realize the impact it would have on our child as he/she grew up. Inevitably someone in the family would tell our child, and we became concerned about how he/she would feel discovering that his/her uncle had a part in the creation and birth. Since we see him frequently, our hearts told us that this option would be difficult for everyone involved. We are moving forward with donor sperm. We are looking for donors who ha ve similar traits as my partner. We do struggle with how much information to find out about the donor. My partner is feeling like I'm "dating" the donor. If anyone has advice about this, I'd greatly appreciate it!
