When to tell.. - Real Mum story on MoM

When to tell your children they were donor conceived?… Is the big question.. I know I’m not alone but sometimes it feels like it.
I have to make this decision.. (As well as hubby) but it’s harder for me as it was egg donation.
Some days I think about it more. No one can understand how I feel or will feel when we have to sit our children down & explain to them why, how etc.. I feel like a failure every time I think about it.. What if.. But I know I mustn’t think like this.. I have 2 beautiful children whom I love with all my heart and soul. I feel so very blessed to have been able to have my children as I know the struggle..
So just remember whenever someone says to you how much your child/children are like you, good or not so good take it as a compliment for you never know, they may never get that..

I should not think it matters at all until they are old enough to take themselves to the doctor who needs to know family history.

Tell them when you feel you are ready, I just hope they are old and mature enough to understand

It must be a tough decision not something that I had thought about. But don’t put yourself down you are their mother in every way that counts.
