I am just hoping it wasn’t the same donor

The shock turned into depression, as she began to mourn what she had lost. “I was a daddy’s girl. I had a great childhood, and was the apple of my non-biological dad’s eye. [I] adored my dad,” said Blessing, a homeschooling mother of five, who lives in Tennessee.

If that's all true, why the histrionics now?

As a kid who grew up without a father at all, I think she should be dang grateful that God provided her with a loving father regardless of who provided the sperm, and stop this whining.

This woman is making me intensely irritated.

other than telling her no she wasn’t predisposed what was the purpose of telling her anything else?

secondly, I mean , really the man who raised her and loved her and cared for her and she thinks he isn’t really her dad because of genetics??? How ungrateful

The day after Stephanie Blessing learned she had been conceived with the assistance of a sperm donor and that the man she knew and loved as her father for 32 years was not her father, she went into shock.

Bloody incredible. Have some basic decency woman and acknowledge that the man who raised you is your father, not some anonymous donor of baby batter.

I kinda thought she was overreacting. True she'll never meet her real dad but the one who raised her loved her.

This woman is unhinged. Be glad you had a loving father who was there for you throughout your formative years and get a grip on yourself.

She speaks of her mom’s selfishness in wanting to conceive at all costs. How about her own selfishness regarding her new found knowledge. How about considering her father’s feelings in this. To declare she doesn’t have a dad now is a terrible thing to say.

Many kids grow up without fathers. She should be damned glad she had one. It sounds like he was a good one too.

Her real dad IS the man who loved her and raised her. I don’t know how many hundreds of times I watched wistfully as kids and their fathers played. Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, just school events. All the father and son stuff. Or, in this case, daughter and father stuff... she had it all. The guy who provided the sperm was NOT her father in any way other than pure biology.

I am REALLY irritated by this.

I can understand your take on this, but the biological factor is a fact that cannot be discarded. I’d cut the kid some slack.

Crazy people. The man who adored her and doted over her is her father. The sperm donor is a curiosity. Why make yourself loopy over this stuff? At most it just adds a connection to an additional person.

Why does this woman feel it's necessary to reject all the love and devotion her father gave her?

The man who changed her diapers, took her trick-or-treating, paid her orthodontist, went to her school plays, stone-faced her first boyfriend before the prom and taught her to drive is her father. The med student who spewed into a beaker is nobody to her.

I think the only real problem here is that her parents kept the truth from her for so long. What was to point of lying for so many years? My sister is adopted, and my parents were always truthful with her and explained (at an age-appropriate level) who her parents were and why her biological parents couldn’t take care of her. She never felt betrayed or lied to. On the other hand, I have a friend who wasn’t told he was adopted until much later in life, and that was very hard for him to deal with at the time. I guess my point is don’t like to kids, honesty is the best policy.

My cousins oldest son, found out when he was about 30, that he wasn't "really" my cousins child.

My cousin told him "you've always been my son, you'll always be my son". Nobody treats him or views him any differently, and our heritage is his heritage.

This woman sounds like a real case, that didn't deserve the father she had.

I was raised by a good stepfather, but I always desired for my natural fathers love, I also never felt equal to my sister, it causes other feelings to surface, but Christ heals it all.

I’m not exactly sure why this is a huge deal. Having an anonymous sperm donor is better than having a known biological father waiting to be found, isn’t it? A father raised her, she wasn’t adopted.
