Well, I'll say it again. Having a kid doesn't make you a parent, taking care of a kid does. Agony is being stuck with a family that doesn't want you. If you're lucky to be raised by parents who didn't actually
make you but who went through the whole parenting phase since day one, those are your real parents even if you don't have their genes.

There won't be such a
need if you feel you belong with the people who've taken on the parent role for you. Why go looking for anyone who didn't want you in the first place? What's the point? Your real family is the one that cares for you since the very begining, not the people who put genes together and who are unwilling to take care of a baby.

I agree on that. I think adoption is a better option, but I don't see much of a difference between adoption and having sperm injected into you. It's two different ways, same result. Maybe there's women out there who want to go through pregnancy and whose partner won't be able to give them that. If I were that woman, I'd consider adoption first, but I understand some of them would rather go with the other option.

Knowing who the sperm that made you into a human being belongs to makes you the person you are? Really, you think? The process of growing up and the people around you make you who you are.
