Most parents of a child conceived by Donor Insemination or In Vitro Fertilisation have, at some stage, wondered whether or not to tell their child of his or her means of conception. It is a complex and sensitive issue and touches on feelings about infertility and the emotional pain associated with it. It is also connected to whether or not you have told others about how your child was conceived.
Beginnings are important.
A couple's decision to have a child with the help of donor insemination, is a significant and often difficult decision. However, it is also a decision full of hope, love and excitement about the future. The pregnancy and birth of your child are amazing and wonderful events, especially after having waited so long and gone through so much to become pregnant. Any child born after a battle with infertility is so precious that parents obviously want to do their best for him or her. This is a very reasonable and understandable concern for any parent in this situation.
