really why you think that the child will feel that their "real" family is out there. That goes on a particular presumption. Wouldn't the same apply to an adopted child then as well? What is the difference, and in fact, isn't it in some sense more difficult for an adopted child to understand that they were given up by their "real" parents then for a DE child to consider that the mother needed help to have a child that she wanted very much. It seems the issue is more about being worried about what others might think about the process and how that might reflect back on the child. Which depends on each particular circumstance. But I feel that the genetic significance is less importance myself. For centuries women have gone to other men if their husbands were infertile. |
