One thing is crystal clear for me. That is that the interests and well-being of the children—all of them—are paramount. Regardless of what the legal framework was at the time of my being a sperm donor, I believe that I do have responsibilities to the children born as a result of my sperm donations. At the very least, those children have a right to know what my part of their genetic heritage is… I will be more than happy to get in touch, if and when they do desire. I think about them often and wonder who, where, and how they are, and what is happening in their lives. I think that if one day some of my unknown offspring do make contact with and meet me it might be—for them primarily and for me too—a wonderful “jigsaw” experience!?! I only donated for a period of about eight months! All of that said, the prospect of it actually happening is a little daunting, in some ways. What if they do not like me, or I them? What if they feel unhappy with my having contributed to their creation but then taken no responsibility for them—especially if they have had an unhappy life? How will my own family react to and view them? On and on my thinking goes. However, at the base of all of this, I am quite clear in my mind that these wonderful children do have a right to know what they want to know about me—because in them, there is a part of me.
