When Dad Is a Donor

摘要

Nine-year-old sam Hollander has a few questions about his father. "Sometimes I'm curious to see what he looks like," says Sam. "I'd like to know, did he smile alot?" Sam mightnever learn the answers to his questions, because his biological father is an anonymous sperm donor, a man with hazel eyes (like Sam's) who may ultimately decide notto allow his offspring to learn his identity. Butthe fact that Sam knows as much as he does aboutthe details ofhis birth, and has any chance at all of meeting his donor father someday, illustratesjust how much things have changed in the once hypersecretiveworld of donor insemination.
