donor conceived?

i just found your blog and it made my day. i know i have 9 half siblings out there somewhere and have wanted to meet them since i could talk.the only difference is that i have 2 moms.we share something. thank you for this blog.

just wanted to say that sorry i havent been posting a lot recently, been pretty busy. if you are wondering the blog confessions post is mine, but as i am anonymous it really doesnt matter that i am telling you this.

I just want to say how happy I am that I came across your blog! I started the blog I'm currently writing to you from, because in a way I'm going through something like yourself. I'm looking for my birth mother and half siblings, and even though I wasn't donor-conceived, I know everything you're feeling about the process of looking for people you're related to but don't know. It would be nice to chat with someone who understands :)

i went to the dc network meeting a couple of months ago, i felt to useful whilst i was there cause i was able to talk to people who were considering using donor sperm and were worried about how the child would feel, so i felt like i was helping people.

so i am now 18 which means that i can put my name on the sibling register thing.

if you like the blog, and i know i dont post much, but recommend me.

Fatherhood is much more than a genetic link. In the end, it's all about the relationships you have with each other

ive been thinking a lot recently about my half siblings. my eighteenth birthday ticks ever closer which means i will be able to put my name on the sibling registry. when i first found out about the registry i was excited. i couldnt wait to find out if i had any - and i have 12 which i have mentioned in a previous post. but ive been thinking about it a huge amount recently and starting to become a bit scared of it. im nervous. im anxious. and i dont really know what to do anymore. i want to find out who my half siblings are, but then what if they dont like me, what if they arent what i expect. just before writing this post i was staring at my laptop screen for about twenty minutes just thinking about it. i mean, what do i actually want from these 12 people!? do i want a relationship? do i want to just meet them and be done with it? just know what they look like!? its torture thinking about it at the moment. i think i found out about the registry when i was 16, it didnt seem like a big deal then; it was just 'im going to put my name on that list, i want contact' but now im just thinking and thinking. OVERTHINKING. and its driving me up the wall!

thinking about this blog, from the perspective of people who arent donor conceived, they may be wondering what it is.

i found out i was donor conceived when i was twelve. my parents intended to tell me when i was ten, but apparently there was 'never the right time' but they told me which is the main thing.

the point of this blog? well really because when i had first found out that i was conceived by an anonymous sperm donor i wished there was something out there that i could read, from someone who was going through, or had been through what i was feeling.
