married and donor DI question

My dh was exactly the same way.

Depending on when he got the Diagnosize, I'd do two things.

Keep in mind - being a parent is SOOOOOO much more than the brief moment of conception, or even than the 9 months of gestation. Parenthood is the nights with no sleep comforting a fussy baby, the joy of seeing the little smiles and hearing the laughs, months of poopy diapers and - when training - wet and dirty clothes, the hugs of comfort and the hugs of joy, the first day of school, the first love, the first breakup, talking about the facts of life, "just say no," the waiting up at night for your teen to come home, walking your "baby" down the aisle, and in the far future, helping take care of grandchildren. THAT'S what makes a parent, not who donated the sperm or the egg :)
