ID Option Donors

Welcome, Katie! I will be 33yrs old next month and am also going the route of single motherhood. When I first started researching donors, I was hesitant about choosing an ID Options donor but, in the end, I decided there was no way I could choose a donor who wasn't ID Option... What it came down to for me, personally, was the fact that I didn't want to take my child's voice/right away, should s/he want to know who their biological father was and where half of them came from. I wish you all the best of luck, no matter which donor your choose!

hi, I'm a single mom of a 22 month old daughter and the donor I decided on is not an ID donor. I would have liked one but it just didn't turn out that way. when my daughter was a few months old my mom had said, wow look at what the "other grandparents" are missing out on. when I was growing up my father had no contact with us (until I found him and called him when I was 36) so that played such a part in my decision to have my daughter using a donor. I didn't want her to always be wondering, but you know, these days there are so many single moms by choice that when she is18 it might just be a very common thing. I think that it is great that the donor would like the kids to have that option. I feel the donors are great guys to do this. I would have liked my daughter to be able to contact just to say thank you!

Just to add to this, I purchased everything possible from the donor, including a voice recording and photos as a child and adult. I feel the child should have the option to have as much info as possible of the donor, and that not choosing an ID donor is something that I might never be forgiven for.
