The adoption community advocated openness long before donor conception. Probably because in heterosexual two parent families, anyway, one could easily hide. But it shouldn’t be seen this way. Both need to be just as open and just as early.
And I would just like to say, AGAIN, the topic of disclosure had been around for a long time and as my husband just said, “it’s hard for people to stand for something that doesn’t renew their paycheck” as the fertility industry continued to not advise openness and “telling” until the genetic testing came around. Hmmm…
I love that quote, “knowing is not enough”. So true when it comes to humans. I read an article about ovarian tissue donation recently and my brain was doing some gymnastics about all the implications of that scenario and how amazing science can be in fertility treatment. Thanks for all the work you are putting into these research articles and reviews. Having all these different studies at hand in one place to reference is so helpful.
