What would you do in my place?

Asked by deaddolly (3431points) September 29th, 2008

In the late 80’s, I chose to have a child via artificial insemention. Donors were anonymous. It was the best decision I’ve ever made: she’s my best friend and I’m very proud of the young woman she’s become.
I was always honest and open with her about my choice, ever since she was little. As she got older, she’s expressed interest in possibly meeting her ‘donor father’. I tried contacting the cryobank, but it was closed long ago and records seem to have disappeared. I belong to a Single Mothers by Choice organization and am listed online as parents wishing to meet donors. What is the collective’s opinion? If you were the donor, would you want to meet any offspring?
By the way, the donor was married and had 10 children. His wife signed him up for the donor program…lol
Thanks for your opinions!
