Sorry Madhatter but I do not agree with you.
Maybe this man can cut off feelings of responsibility for his own child in this situation.
But I dont believe most men can do this. The very fact of knowing that you have a child somewhere will always be in the back of your mind.
I also have doubts about egg donations.
Some years ago a friend of mine was asked to donate eggs for a couple who could not have children.
She refused, as she could not live with the thought of one of her children not being 'hers' especially as they would be moving away.
As it happened they did move away and eventually had three children of their own. Quite a predicament it would have been.
This is only one instance and I know how happy most people are given the chance to have a child of their 'own.
I am still out with the jury on this subject and not sure whether I believe the doner should be anonymous or not.
Then there is the problem of the child , in later life, looking for it's roots which contrarily I believe they should be able to do.
I'm digging myself into a hole here so Iwill say goodnight and see what others on this site have to say.
