The vast majority of medical and psychological professionals agree that being honest with your child about their conception and genetic history is the best course of action. At Fertility Match, we believe in research-based practices, and the research shows that children who know from the beginning that they are Donor-conceived are healthier and happier than those who find out later in life. In our program, we emphasize the importance of telling your child about their genetic history. While it is ultimately your choice whether you tell your child the truth, just know that the truth will eventually come out one day, whether through DNA testing such as 23andme.com or through sites such as Ancestry.com. By listening to professionals and following suggested best-practices, telling children early in life with love and support will almost always result in a more positive outcome. Telling the truth is rarely a bad idea!
