I love ths post — and thanks for writing it. You know it’s funny egg donors regardless of their origin are not “real mothers” in any stretch of the world, your son’s genetic parent for sure.

In our situation we purposely had a child through egg donation, meaning we sought out an egg donor, and yes, genetics or biology is not family.

I have alway said I’d rather be raised by people who loved me, cared for me, respected me, than those “genetically” related to me who would abuse me.

After all — It’s just a strand of DNA — right?

Excellent post.
