The DNA you share with a 'sperm donor' does not psychological connect you with that individual, therefore it is not of real importance. They merely provided an ingredient to the final product - not a father or dad, for that is psychological- but DNA that is often wasted or in this case provided as a gift. One does not usual question a gift, but accept it with the knowledge that it now belongs to you and what you do with it in the future is your choice, thus they no longer have any responsibility in regards to it. Thus to expect a donor to later take responsibility of their gift by intruding into their personal life is both selfish and a contradiction to the 'gift'. Their involvement is done and should not be forced to believe other wise. DNA does not equal familiy! Why you ask? - because 'family' is psychological, it is a choice, it's shareing memories, experiences, a bond! The bottom line is, if they wanted to be held accountable (be part of your life)they would not of presented themselves as anonymous.DOUGIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04224711768006253261noreply@blogger.com
