To tell the truth - The Boston Globe


Not sure if I am doing this right but if you click on the link it should bring you to the articule. I personally see this as offensive to any donar concieved or adoptee that the parents or donars don't think the person created is important. Its proof positive that its about the "baby" and someones need to be mommy more then the truth of the orgins of the person most impacted. The sad thing is that genral society would agree that its ok not to tell the child that they don't carry the same genes as their mother or father , then they grow up and have children of their own and its all based on a lie.

I read the article (so congrats, your link worked!) and was really disturbed by the idea that the child would never know.

I read this as well. There are so many ways a child can find out even the best kept secrets - probably more than I can imagine. Too many "real life" stories has shown this is not healthy for the child. Not good...
