...That part came from my father. The only thing was, I had never met him, never heard any stories about him, never seen a picture of him. I didn't know his name. My mother never talked about him -- because she didn't have a clue who he was.

I have that same problem, although for slightly different reasons......

Hmmm.

Seems like the Church was right about this practice all along.

Jodie Foster's kid will have these same feeling when he gets to be an adult........

"She sacrificed so much as a single mother, living on food stamps, trying to make ends meet."

Hmmm...

Living off food stamps and then purposely having a child is not something I respect much. Just more of the entitlement class...

...allowed a doctor wearing rubber gloves to inject a syringe of sperm from an unknown man into her uterus so that she could have a baby. I am the result: a donor-conceived child....

don't worry hun there's already several movies made about your situation. Go to Hollywood,tell your story,get financial backing, get some big entertainment mogul interested.....make sure you knock America so you get mass approval and the next thing you know...you'll be rich and on Lettermen. It's easy, ask any Democrat, they'll show you how to do it,as long as your a big time donor, they'll even hold a space for YOUR daughter as a sequel...they do it all the time

I don't know what to say here.

How awful to know that someone jerked off into a jar and now here you are.

It's just...just not right. The whole process serves further to put fathers onto the sidelines and minimize their need.

Thankfully most babies are NOT born this way.

This headline is just screaming to be made into pulp fiction cover. Any takers?

Most young people go through a period of self-discovery, in which they are uniquely miserable in the human condition they didn't ask to be in.
Unless they are too busy working to put food on the table (which gives you a brilliantly clear idea of who you are), the existentialist soliloquy scene is played by all but the very densest humans.
I smell an author in search of a publisher.

Yes Ms Katrina Clark- Ms Whiner, has a grudge against something bad about her life.

Flawed Mommy! Bad Daddy! So here she is writing for the Washington Post and probably getting ready to celebrate the happiest time of many of the worlds spiritual faiths.

For the world's Ms Clarks, whether adopted or born from donated tissue - you don't like your life? Get in line.

And meanwhile "get a life". Oh wait, you got a life because of what you call a selfish act by two adults!

Ms Clark, are suggesting you would have preferred to not be born? I suggest you spend more time volunteering at an abortion clinic and get upiut and meet some real victims of selfish acts (like paralyzed, brain dmaged and comatose victims of drunk drivers) and get some perspective on tragedy and meet some brave non whining people who live with wants and needs that will never be fulfilled.

When she was 32, my mother -- single, and worried that she might never marry and have a family --

When she was 32, my mother -- single, and extremely selfish--

Could be worse...your mother could have been in a relationship with another woman and you could have been raised in a household hostile to men and thus have really been screwed up.

I knew a woman who was a lesbian and had a baby with her partner "Butch". The child was male and both the mother and her partner were clearly not fond of men either physically or in general. While they were outwardly loving when the child was an infant, I always wondered how they would cope with a male child going through puberty. The kid would now be in his late teens and I wonder how messed up his life is.

She is a brave girl to put these thoughts into writing. Depriving a child of half of its history is not right. It is bad enough if a child is conceived by two adults who don't stay together, or when the father dies before the child is born, but for a mother to say (by her action) "your father doesn't matter, I just wanted you" is cruel.

The article said she was a student at Gallaudet University. If I'm not mistaken that is a university for the deaf or hearing impaired. Wonder if that played into her search for the "genetics" info?

I'm here to tell you that emotionally, many of us are not keeping up. We didn't ask to be born into this situation, with its limitations and confusion.

Find some bootstraps and a life!

None of us are asked to be born into whatever situation we find ourselves.

Life is hard for all of us.

The idea of a "Donor" for a married couple with fertility issues is one thing.. the idea of a "Donor" bank for single women to produce kids just because they want one is quite another.

Fatherlessness is one of the fastest ways, particularly for a male child to wind up in trouble. No they don't all wind up in trouble, but statistically they are a much more risk before they even get their first breath.

This should be required reading at feminazi indoctrination centers (colleges). This is proof that going against human nature has bad consequences. This sort of artificial parent thing is unnatural and abnormal. We aren't made that way.
There's a reason why some churches are against this sort of thing: because it's against human nature. It has nothing to do with religious doctrine.

Not so. The children born of these transactions are people, too

Liberals don't think that
