TW: donor child

Donor child whumpee.

Constantly wondering if they’ve been told everything about their bio parent’s family.

Wondering if they and their sibling(s) are really fully siblings, or if something got mixed up.

Wondering if you have family in the city that you live.

Just generally resigned to the fact that you won’t know everything.

A sweet little story about one of the many modern variations of a family.

My brother started dating a woman a while back who has a six years old son, Jamie. He’s an anonymous donor child, meaning he technically doesn’t have a father. At least not one he’s ever likely to meet. His mother has no siblings so his whole life his only family has been her and his two grandparents.

My brother, despite his mental illness, has taken the caretaker role upon him as best as he can and Jamie has accepted him fully into the family.

Now my brother and his girlfriend are about to have another child together. This child will be calling my brother “dad”, our mother “grandmother” and my sister and I “aunts” so my brother and his girlfriend agreed with my mother that Jamie should of course be allowed to call us those things too so he won’t feel excluded.

Thing is, no one told me about this plan.

I was looking at my phone when Jamie snug up on me and said in a quiet but very deliberate way “You’re my aunt”

We have different words for people who are related to us by blood and those married into the family. He used the blood relative word. Thanks to my ADHD I don’t always know what will come out of my face but luckily my response that day was “....Yeah, I suppose I am”

He gave me this huge excited smile and since then he has regularly tried to figure out what we all are in relation to him. What should he call my sister’s boyfriend and should he call our mom’s husband “granddad” even though we don’t call him “dad”? There’s more possible words to use for family members in Danish than in English so he hasn’t quite settled on what to call us but that will most likely happen automatically when his baby brother is born and is told from the start what we are.

It’s just really sweet how excited he is about suddenly having a much bigger family. He’s especially excited for the biggest Christmas he has ever had (12 people, but that’s huge when you’re used to 4)

“The Digimon 02 Epilogue is bad because it implies they’re all BIOLOGICAL children/married with kids!!1!”

I mean you may be right that that was likely the original intention because 90s shounen anime bUT STILL KEEPING IN MIND THEY’VE “UPDATED” SOME THINGS IN A SENSE ALREADY RE: MIYAKO STUDYING IN COLLEGE, ETC.:

#being a donor baby leads to very specific arguments...#real life #donor child #moving

Sometimes I think I’d give up who I am just to be related to both sides of my family

Donor-child amusement is finding a pic of your bio dad shirtless and doing drugs in 1987 and texting it to your mom like...you see this? You bought his sperm two years after this picture was taken...THIS GUY.

I’m definitely feeling very half today.

It was a cousin’s baby shower (there are hella) and like. A lot of my family was there to support her and everything. But this is on my non-bio side and today that fact felt very present.

It’s so weird because sometimes

I don’t feel full non-bio family, but I’m definitely not donor family.

So 🤷🏼‍♀️
