That is all kinds of wrong. It has to violate the agreement. Men are not going to want to donate if the info is revealed.No, they won't. On the other hand, the kids didn't agree to anything.
Are these adult off-spring, or minors?
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

Okay, so I'm going to a club. I can drink, right? South Beach aside, going to a club with friends warrants a drink or two? It won't totally destroy the whole diet concept and mean I have to start from scratch?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They were teenagers shown.
One of the mothers said she never signed anything about not trying to track down the father, although the clause is standard.
There's this website that says they facilitate mutual consent meetings. I wonder how many donors they've matched to kids?
Looking for your siblings seems like curiosity to me--looking for your parent is more like selfishness. Now, if the parent decides to make their info available, happy endings all round. I still think the kids are asking for trouble in many cases, and not just for themselves.

Vodka and diet tonic. With a bunch of lime, not half bad.

Oh right, because the tonic is chock-full of sugar, right? vw says that in phase two we can start having wine, so I may just try to stick to wine (however uncool it may be).
The next question is, what do I wear on my no-longer-the-size-I-was-when-clubgoing body?

I was just talking to a Dr. friend today about the sperm donor thing and we were both outraged at the movement. All sorts of wrong.
Who just had yummy Cuban food? ME!
All the decorations are down and put away except for the garland. ANd since the elevator to the basement is locked by this time, it will have to wait until tomorrow.

I'm about to go for sushi. One of the parties is running fifteen minutes late, one of the others has been throwing up all day. There were only four of us.

We do not do mushy in our family. We do funny (and I mean actually funny) or affectionately insulting.
This is what we do to. I hate buying father's day cards since my dad doesn't fish or golf or hog the tv clicker.

Apparently in Britain, there is this whole unanonymous legally sperm donor movement happening. Kind of freaks me out. My brother, um, deposited in this country. Gave a full accounting of medical history and whatnot. I'd love to say his motive was all humanitarian, but really? It was cold hard cash and frankly, though it weirds me out to think of biological nieces and nephews I'll not know... If someone wants a kid and can't but for a donor and chooses my brother's DNA in a donor program? Thank you and bless. He's a nice guy. He had a cute kid. May you have the same.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Sperm donors aren't looking to become parents, they're looking for quick cash.
Maybe that's not a good enough reason? Maybe the desires of a child who had not choice in the arrangement should supercede?
I honsetly don't know.
