My Father, the Sperm Donor 🐣 (P.S. #57)

Finally telling you the story of my half-siblings, in honor of Father’s Day!

Hi friends!

I’ve always known that my existence was possible through the incredible science of artificial insemination. My mom is gay, and so finding a donor was her solution to building a family. It never felt weird to me; I had no sense that I was missing out on something by not having a dad, and other than idle curiosity, I wasn’t necessarily eager to know tons about the man whose genetics helped make me a reality. But when I was in elementary school, my mom showed me a TV show about a donor-conceived girl on a journey to find her half-siblings. It was my first introduction to the idea that I could have my own half-siblings roaming about in the world. And that maybe, just maybe, one day, I could find them.

Thanks for reading! I’m excited to *finally* tell you the story of how I found my half-sisters, but the rest of today’s story is extra special and just for paid subscribers. If you haven’t already, I’d love for you to join our community to gain full access to this and more personal stories!
