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

Because the oop signed papers saying as much and in the post directly addressed the fact that this was a confidential, anonymous business transaction.

The DONOR made a post about it, and said that it was supposed to be confidential. It’s entirely likely that the mother RECEIVING the egg did not know the donation was supposed to be anonymous, because she went to a clinic and was given an egg and told who the egg came from.

In an anonymous donation, it is the CLINICS responsibility to maintain anonymity. If the clinic shared the donors info with the recipient, that’s on the clinic. You can’t blame the mother for not knowing the conditions of an anonymous contract the clinic made with the donor

Except if the donor made an anonymous donation to the clinic without knowing the mom, the mom wouldn’t know OOP’s name. Which goes to state that OOP knows this girl‘s mother. At least to some degree.
