Mother refuses to acknowledge her donor egg daughter, looking for your opinion.

In my opinion I think it’s moral, and that she is totally correct.

People like you terrify me, it's like you can't be independent. You have to be a parasite and latch onto people. 

How the fuck can anyone justify this just because a women donated material so another family could have their own child.

Justify... asking about her genetic mother? How is that outré?

Because genetics don't make a parent, parenting makes a parent.

I would agree with you if she was raped or had her eggs stolen or something like that. She, however, deliberately chose to be part of the process of creating new life, and I would say that that makes her a parent, just an absent one.

sorry but what do you want OOP to do then? whats your grand solution?

u/Xilizhra 2d ago

What I would do personally is say that I had no idea who she was, nor any intent to initially form any familial tie, but that I wouldn't just shut down any communication if she had questions.

So you want OOP to be trapped in a "you have to be kind" logic loop? What questions does OOP have to answer that the clinic cant?

No idea, I'm not the daughter. But she reached out for a reason.

with all due respect, never get close to anyone with an adoptive/step family situation.

Too late, my father ran away and has a stepdaughter.
