Let's talk about donor eggs and sperm. It is interesting that in some countries you can only be a donor and surrogate mother for free, for ethical reasons (selling people), and in some countries it is believed that there is nothing wrong if women improve their financial status by helping others with their eggs or carrying a pregnancy. Also interesting: in some countries, donation is open and closed. In some places it is only open, and in others it is only closed. Open means that at the age of 18, a child can go to the clinic to get the donor’s phone number and get in touch with him, and the donor doesn’t mind. Now let’s talk about the psychological side. I realized that there are a lot of layers here and a lot depends on the parents and how they dealt with this situation for themselves. If the parents did not hide anything from the child, then he normally perceives that there are/were people who helped the parents meet him . They gave me their cage or carried me out in my stomach. Children do not feel inferior. It is also important to separate the social roles of mother and father and understand that a donor is a donor and nothing more. If a child has a deficit in relations with his mother or father, then fantasies towards the donor are possible, that there is a loving mother or father there, and if the donor is closed, then this can cause a lot of anxiety and other feelings, seeing in all people the appropriate age of their “real” parent. For me, donation is the same as with foster parenting. There is a bio mother or a bio father, whom adoptive parents often call simply “bio.” If you look at it from the point of view of the genogram, then everyone will relate to the child’s gender: those who are bio and those who raised and the one who carried it, even if it is three different women and two different men. Therefore, if a person does not know that there were donor cells and biologically he is not the child of this mother or father (in our Country this most often happens and often even fathers do not know that the child is from donor sperm ...), then this “secret” will manifest itself in him in different ways, usually through health problems up to cancer, anxiety, various fears and unconscious guesses.
