every time i log in on this site it breaks my heart a little i don’t know which is worse having a notification that gets me super excited hoping its a possible match and finding out its nothing or logging in day after day to nothing i know my donor isn’t my father but i want to meet him once hear the sound of his voice see if i have his eyes i want to meet my brothers find out if i have sisters i want this curiosity to end.
Thanks for sharing, @j-getz. I feel your pain, I have been there, and every new member that joins I check to see if they are from my university where I was made. I think what makes it hard is the reality that he is your father and part of who you are and he is missing. We’re not meant to live this way on this planet. I used to stay up all night sometimes restless, looking for answers on the web, sometimes turned unhealthily to alcohol to numb myself which only made things worse in the end. Thanks for sharing and don’t be shy. I found my father through my DNA and a distant match on 23andMe. I’m on 5 databases. If you haven’t sent your DNA to all the big sites listed on the Resources page you should. It could lead to matches and give you a path to follow to reverse engineer your family tree. I live 10 hours from where I was made and am rumored to have hundreds of siblings. I’m sure I have siblings here in Denver I am not able to know. It sucks. Wherever I go I find myself wondering if they could be my sibling. Hang in there and feel free to reach out more if you need support.
i’ve been wanting to send my dna in but haven’t been able to yet. alot of times i envy the donor kids who dont know that the were conceived with the help of a donor. ive been wondering ever since i was a little girl where my donor is. i hacked my moms email when i was 15 to get my donor profile only to find that it was basically blank. i cant imagine having several hundred possible siblings i found out i had two brothers when i was diagnosed with epilepsy my donor was pulled from the program a month before i was born cause my brothers have seizures. I doubt i have many more siblings unless my donor went to a different clinic.
