I wonder if this is true for you and whether, if you are UK based, you would like to talk to me for this story.

That's why I don't have a relationship with him any more rather than because of DC per se.Frabjous Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100553315101394237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2393345140855544826.post-15315931463092452532007-08-01T23:56:00.000+01:002007-08-01T23:56:00.000+01:00I've never read a story of someone who has dealt w...I've never read a story of someone who has dealt with donor conception, and I appreciate your candor. I always imagined it would be the way you described it. In fact, an anonymous past is one reason we sought open adoption for our children (two of whom came to us via adoption). I'm wondering, though, you never mentioned again your relationship with your father - the one who raised you ("social" father?). Do you not consider him your father in any way? (I'm honestly just asking, I hope this doesn't sound in any way accusing.) As an adoptive parent, I'm wondering about the parallels - and differences - in how someone views, for example, a family tree, as you described it.Donna-Jean Breckenridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458231034482560795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2393345140855544826.post-62154922309680588072007-06-27T13:45:00.000+01:002007-06-27T13:45:00.000+01:00Elizabeth, Hi, I found you from Veronica's blog. ...Elizabeth, Hi, I found you from Veronica's blog.

My blog is at <br />www.thedonorwhodared.blogspot.com<br /><br />Also would like to wish you all the best with your homeschooling. All three of my daughters were homeschooled up to the last two years of secondary school and they did, and are doing, just fine.<br /><br />Regards, Michael<br /><br />michael_linden_au@yahoo.comzavvacbiodadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864348444348523009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2393345140855544826.post-35849492983530807422007-01-16T01:06:00.000+00:002007-01-16T01:06:00.000+00:00I'm sure it's even harder being surprised with it ...I'm sure it's even harder being surprised with it - the person you *thought* you were isn't who you are.<br /><br />I too am sorry you have had to go through this.
