Lady Florida. Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) It's not the same as those who discover an unknown sibling or two, or a cousin, uncle, etc. In this case the father was a sperm donor but it's still quite a discovery to find out just how many "donations" he made. She knew her parents used a sperm donor and started out on a DNA site just looking for health information. She now has a bunch of brothers and sisters, most of whom were happy to find each other. DNA testing shows an only child that she has 29 siblings Edited April 4, 2019 by Lady Florida. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I have a somewhat new friend how found out the OB/GYN donated the sperm to her mother to get preg. She has found 16 siblings so far through DNA. There are a possible 800 total. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 In the past, it was powerful and wealthy men who were super fertile. Sperm donors are the new Ghengis Khans... 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the guy that did it to save money and didn't tell his patients? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was that donor that had the code name that included "QAH". The nurses gave it to him because he was Quite A Hunk. I remember hearing that he had a great many 'kids' out there. Here is a story on that guy. https://people.com/archive/my-life-as-a-sperm-donor-vol-65-no-22/ Edited April 4, 2019 by shawthorne44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenmom5 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I wonder if this is one of the cases where the fertility dr was the sperm donor. there have been a few that were too lazy and too cheap to get anonymous donors and just used their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
