Not all bad
I just stumbled upon this site and I wanted to reassure people struggling that it’s not all bad once you learn to understand your origins there are many things to be grateful for. I found out my parents used a sperm donor when I was 18 as my dad had chemo and couldn’t have kids. I was shocked due to not knowing my medical history but then I realised I was living under the assumption of her cancer all along (all his family have I’ve lost aunts, grandparents and a little cousin) and realised that I’m going to get a genetic test soon to find out more information (once I’ve bought a life assurance policy first). Once the shock subsided I realised how desparate my parents were for me to exist and how much they wanted a kid in their lives. I promise every single one of you that you were desprate wanted and needed. You are all unique and wonderful people. God bless. X
