A donor is not a biological mother. The biological development occurs in the womb. A donor is a genetic relative because of shared genes. Like a cousin or an aunt have some shared genes. Cell replication occurs in the womb. I am just sharing because this is the terminology used in the reproductive field.

Everyone complaining about her being "intrusive" needs to take a chill pill. She waited until the kids were 20 years old. This means that they are fully grown independent adults and can choose how much or how little they wish to see the donor mother. If she contacted them when they were in high school it would be a different matter but the kids are fully developed and quite capable of understanding that their mother is the woman who raised them and sacrificed for them.

[@NsTheName]

Especially since she didn’t contact them. She wasn’t even able to. She told the place she’d donated to about a medical condition they should know about and then said if they wanted to meet her, she was open and that was it.

She should have had her own kids if she wanted to be in a maternal role so much.

If I were the birth mother, I would feel upset that the donor is overstepping her bounds and trying to wedge herself into my family.

[@86Framer]

The kids wanted to meet their biological mother and thankfully their mother told them they were donor conceived. Because if she didn’t, her daughter could’ve had an easily preventable early death. Also, The Fertility Industry doesn’t keep track of the health of egg donors. Because they tend to have significantly higher chances getting cancer and infertility among other issues (not something they want the broke college girls they prey on to know about). Also…she might have been unable to have children of her own, because she donated eggs. Governments are changing the laws because of the bad things The Fertility Industry has done.

The kids 9 times out of 10 would eventually get curious and want to meet her, so it's a blessing. The adoptive mother seems very selfless, and just wants the best for her kids and for them to be happy. Adoptive kids raised well, love the parents that raise them, and won't forget the love ever! So it's not a threat, but a gift. This opportunity may never had taken place if the bio-mom got sick or died. As humans we are able to love many people at once, so why not share the love when the relationships are healthy. God bless!

What an amazing & uplifting story. I love hearing about long lost family/friends finding each other... These people are so lucky! I was adopted by an American soldier & his wife while they were stationed in Japan. My bio-mother was a Japanese nurse & bio-dad was another US Army member. I have located both of my bio-parents. Mother is still in Japan & very receptive to reconnecting. My bio-father doesn't wish to meet me or my daughter. I have reached out to an aunt (his sister) and her daughter/granddaughters. The younger ladies were happy & excited. Sadly though, my aunt won't communicate with me (even in private) because she doesn't want to "upset her brother" (my dad). I have two half brothers on that side who know of me but like our aunt, they won't reach out because of our father. Mind you, I want nothing from him other than family info & history. I'm not after his pension or any other monetary & material gains. For whatever reason, he is still hiding from his past. So I have one parent overseas who wants to meet me (& her only granddaughter) but due to distance, travel costs & restrictions just can't make it over here (& vice versa). My father's family are all living in the same area, which is just a 2+ day road trip away. One cousin extended an invite to visit her but that was only mentioned once when we first reconnected, over 4 years ago. She hasn't brought it up again and now I don't hear from her or her daughters anymore so... 🤷🤷‍♂

You sound so unhappy. Just from that little paragraph. I will pray for yo to find lightness in your life.

[@Mindvirus-ly5ed]

not even a whole cell, just a haploid gamete.

Stop trying to deny nature and facts. Those kids came from her eggs, so yes, she is their biological mother. Your feelings do not change facts

[@zmonkey111]

I love how Karen, the blonde mother, has completely accepted Amy, the biological mother, into their families life. Making the transition easy and normal. And fostering a complete environment of love for everyone involved. She is a true mother.

[@pnw_mainecoons6633]

Excellent story. We need more of these happy storyline every day. Good news stories, happy endings, full of love, smiling faces and family Please do more stories like this ❤️

Let's hope the biological mother doesn't dominate now

[@gracejones2831]

Let's hope they are intelligent enough not to allow that to happen.

[@emilyl1094]

Looks like she's getting along very well with her children. They live not far from each other so there will be more contact and maybe sleepover at her house in the future. Hopefully, the mother who raised the children would feel loved by her children as time passes. The biological mother is a spontaneous and outgoing person(lawyer) compared with their gentle, kind and selfless mother.

[@rebeccamonteforte8864]

Is it legal for her to have told the mutual friend?

[@lvt2050]

I found this strange as well.

[@ChillRichard]

this video skipped over the ethics of everything she did

[@gracejones2831]

LOLOL better call 911!

[@KnucklesIsOG]

That's so heartwarming yet so amazing. 🙂❤️

[@David-R.]

It's amazing how welcoming and secure the non-biological mother was and also the biological mother!!! I have SO much respect and love for her. for both actually!! That was nice to watch.

[@taramatheis1451]

What an incredible story!! I'm so happy for them all to meet and for it to be such a joyful reunion!! And its so extra special that this lady did not have her own kids and yet now she has these two young beauties in her life! Just wow!! ❤❤❤ So happy for all concerned 😊

[@user-wc7mo9uo9o]

What an awful story! That's why vast majority of people who want to use donor's egg are doing it not just in different city but out of State or even out of the country. In case not to ever be in situation where crazy egg donor decided to search for her egg donations! Unbelievable. This crazy egg donor woman is pushy, and obviously failed in every aspect of her life, and as she confirmed, she is lonely. Why interfere in some established family's dynamic? She has 0 relationship to them! 0. All she did, she sold her eggs for $3000-5000 20 years ago! Mother, older lady, probably used surrogate as well, based on her age, and she shouldn't be allowing crazy egg donor into their lives.

[@taliabraver]

Its her children

[@user-wc7mo9uo9o]

@@taliabraver No she it isn't! That crazy woman showed up when everything failed in her life! She is a total loser and loonatic. She did not spent adollar on these kids, didn't have sleepless night when they were ill, didn't took them to school, never attended their activities. That crazy nut woman WASN'T present in kids lives at all because all she was was a PAID EGG DONOR, and I am sure it was a contract. That clinic who released information of the family should have legal action against them. There are millions of families around the world have children through paid egg donations, and eggs donors don't come looking for families, because there are contract's conditions. Plus, women donate their eggs when they are young because of financial needs ( same as crazy nut featured in story) and prefer not to think about it when they adults. Unfortunately there always will be crazy nut like that looser woman.

⁠@@user-wc7mo9uo9oOver forty million ancestry tests have been taken. Choosing a foreign egg or sperm donor means nothing at all bro, even the fertility industry has been saying guaranteed donor anonymity is dead and buried for years now. The children were also looking for their biological mother and their mom was totally fine with having a relationship with her donor. The egg donor actually got to thankfully cut through some of the “known at 18” wait time, because of her mother’s cancer. Donor conceived people have died from not having up to date family health history

[@86Framer]

@@user-wc7mo9uo9oWhy should the clinic get sued because they think it’s more important for the children they helped create to not have easily preventable deaths? The clinic one of my friend’s donated at actually has refused to pass along information about serious health issues she’s developed since donating to her recipient parents and biological children Also most donor and donor conceived people do want to meet each other, or at least get health updates.

[@IronFistVelvetGloveX]

@@user-wc7mo9uo9o I thought it was really presumptuous when the phrase "my kids" was used in a non-disclaimery way, like 'biological children' . Ok fine the mother who raised them was gracious enough to welcome her, and you don't meet that with this entitled attitude after you did basically what any baby daddy could do minus a hospital visit and a couple shots (egg harvesting). She should recognize how privileged she is that the mother is such a warm and generous person. If I were the kids I wouldn't be all "oh we laugh the same way! Thats so meaningful!" I would be super grateful for the mother who raised me after meeting egg donor woman.

[@ariesdelfuego]

her children are beautiful

[@titanmma101]

Weird. Lady is hunting down her eggs like she gave children up for adoption.

[@diannemcbeth7428]

Something about using eggs & sperm as a “harvest for profit” commodifies children. There are so many ethical issues that seem to be ignored in favour of the more immediate feel-good conclusions.

[@mistybollinger3312]

Wow!! What an amazing story!! I'm litterally in tears!! Such a precious thing to watch first thing in the morning 😊😊 I'm so happy for all of them that they were finally able to meet each other and the fact that they were just a few miles away from each other the whole time plus shared mutual friends is just mind blowing!! They had probably passed each other on the store and on the street but never knew it! And I have to say the egg doner lady is just absolutely gorgeous!!
