Our series "A More Perfect Union" aims to show that what unites us as Americans is far greater than what divides us. In this installment, we introduce you to a group of families first brought together by the unique bond their children share. Now they all share a special tradition. Anna Werner shows us it's as meaningful to these parents as it is for their kids.

i have 40 half siblings and we all have reunions every year like this lol

@macya4428 4 жыл бұрын

i have thirteen that we know of, though it’s harder for me to see them because i live in new zealand! i am very close with a few of them though. it’s so cool to hear and see what other donor kids think!

The end is coming, this is wrong, very wrong. Next thing we know we kids will be conceived by artificial sperm that gives you super strength and a super intellectual ability. You have already been born and you're other 40, we cant do anything about that because life starts at conception.

I'm glad the donor is allowing contact for the kids at 18!

@Glantoniain 2 жыл бұрын

They already have contact as children, isn't that the point. In the UK, donor children have a legal right to know who their donor father is at 18 but do not have a right to know about any other donor children.

many children prefer two mothers. check out adoption profiles. also, many children don't have a parent because one has left (usually the father) or one has passed away. also, these children are allowed to know their sperm donor after they turn age 18, although many are uninterested and don't bother to do so. study the research some more before making assumptions and judgements about other people and their families. : )

@Glantoniain 2 жыл бұрын

This is so weird that the donor siblings have been united pre 18. In the UK, this would not be possible, unless orchestrated by a private donor bringing the families together under a private arrangement. Logic dictates that donor siblings should be kept apart to avoid sibling attraction. Having said that, they all look happy about it and the Mums seem well-adjusted, and I'm sure they would not allow any chance of incest later on.
