Over the years, the group, which grew to 13 families, formed a bond around this anonymous man who was their biological link. They had unions and reunions and exchanged holiday cards, but none of this socializing answered any of Michelle's questions about the donor's identity. Because he signed a waiver, the California Cryobank would not release his identity. And because genetic testing is not part of their protocol or an FDA requirement, they could not offer any clues to his genetic history that might have caused these traits.

So far so good.

My sperm donor thingy has an orange tip
The guy sounds like a real jerk-off...
Oh- just what we needed - all the testosterone tubes - squirting out more trouble.
You are not welcome on this thread #3067 & #3071.

I just wear a ski mask. It keeps my success rate on dates down, but think of the bucks it could save in the long run.
It sounds like he is begging to be sussed out.
Hmmm . . . a few hundred people in the Baseball Hall of Fame and fewer still who had sons born on September 18, 1968.
“With DNA testing and Google, there’s no such thing as anonymity anymore,” says Wendy Kramer, the founder of the Donor Sibling Registry. “Donors are choosing anonymity because they’re not educated. If they were properly educated on the consequences, then many would choose not to donate.”
“Donor 3066 was being sought out by Michelle Jorgenson, a 39-year-old waitress from Sacramento, Calif., whose daughter, Cheyenne, was born in 1998.* When her daughter turned 5, Jorgenson joined the Donor Sibling Registry and began searching for other mothers and donor offspring who used Donor 3066. She was concerned because her daughter was sensitive to sounds and walked on her toes, and she wanted to know if other half-siblings were displaying similar behavior. Through the registry, she met a number of other mothers and half-siblings. She discovered that two had autism and two others showed similar signs of sensory disorder.”
LOL!
Ew, thanks for the visual. ;’)
LOLOL!

And because genetic testing is not part of their protocol or an FDA requirement, they could not offer any clues to his genetic history that might have caused these traits... he had a BA in theater; that his mother was a nurse and his father was in the Baseball Hall of Fame; that his birthday was Sept. 18, 1968. He made it clear that he didn't want to be found by signing a waiver of anonymity.Also on the donor card was a series of hash marks representing the number of times he had to slam the ham, divided by the number of ceiling tiles.
Cheers!
Dizzy Dean? ;-)
Cheers!
What’s the interest rate on a CD?
