The discussion has gotten rather interesting. I guess we are in a unique situation because we didn't get to pick a donor so to speak as we had to pick the embryos. The embryos were left over from a cycle where a couple did donor egg/donor sperm so they have full siblings from that pregnancy. I'm not sure if it's just one child or multiples though. I'll have to ask when I fill out our follow up paperwork. The egg donor herself has 2 children. She's local but it's an anonymous donation. I do have a picture of her two children because I selfishly said I wanted Susan to see their picture when I went to an appointment without her and I snapped a picture of the picture. I checked the donorsiblingregistry on the sperm donor and haven't found any yet. So they may never know much about their genetic background. My dad is adopted and like Laura's family never wanted to know his birthmother. He did meet her at age 50 mostly to get family history for my brother and I.

People keep asking if they look like me as a baby. I usually just answer with "I'm not sure"!
