Just because you claim it’s “evolutionary” doesn’t mean it’s good. You could argue women have the same imperative as well, to mate with the best and strongest men and produce as many babies as well. Again, just because it’s biological or “evolutionary” as you claim, doesn’t make it good. Most men want to actually raise their children; not abandon them.

[@Madenthewest]

So true! ❤

[@FrankskinOrweed-ep4ij]

That’s not true, his case is unique as I’ve heard MANY donors don’t have interest in establishing bonds with any offspring, they do it for cash. In fact there used to be anonymous donations where kids could NEVER find out who made them! I was going to say this was SICK as I find the donor industry very unethical and selfish of parents, but at least he had the heart to give his name and willing to establish relationships with his biological offspring, altho idk to what extent. I’m sure some donor kids don’t get the opportunity to even know who made them, and plenty just get rejected as they learn their conception happened as means to some easy quick cash. That’s abandonment imo!

[@jd3jefferson556]

They were abandoned

[@WhiteHazee]

​@Madenthewest no that's not the case, learn that your existence is linked to someone who sold their sperm for money and in the vast majority they don't want any relationship with them. You can see the attachment trauma in how quickly they bond with strangers. This industry should not allow a man to donate more than once and use more than one if it is for the same couple.

[@maryg6341]

He did mention other reasons than cash. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. I think he's telling the truth. He definitely looks like an honest and respectful man. I bet he is respected in his community. Thats how I feel, anyhow!

It might be a blessing in disguise.

How is this not sick?

[@Painlesspain240]

Right!

[@thesecret180]

It's kinda weird and strange tbh

[@leeslove1999]

This is wonderful so glad they all know each other

[@debrakleid5752]

How neat to see this man get so excited getting to see his “children”. With most never getting to know their biological dad these siblings got to see the man who not only helped give them life but to also meet their “new” siblings

[@allisoncovington1409]

Donating his sperm does not make him a “ Dad”. He donated it to make some cash on the side. The real question is why he would want to meet them all. Sick

[@kasslue1877]

I know not all will agree but i think its a really cool story. So many were blessed from his donations and how wonderful that if they want to know him he was there. Pretty wild story.

[@lililive1092]

I agree with you, it’s nice to see. And nothing about this story is really sad either it’s not like ever abandoned them (even if he chose to not have contact I don’t think that would be abandonment). It’s probably nice for them to meet their half siblings too.

[@Zedler815]

I totally agree!

[@cupidok2768]

Do they look alike?

[@roselynn816]

Me too!

[@justjo7282]

I like that he left it up to the kids if they wanted to meet him and made it so they could reach him and have access to their donor.

[@tropics67]

His son they interviewed has his dad's good-looking genes!

[@thewizardofoz511]

Yea, I noticed no one is an ugo..😅 that's impressive!.. most of his kids look like they can be models especially the guy with the salmon colored button up.. kinda how's that Abercrombie Lance Bass look😅😁

[@shareathought769]

I think children have a right to know where they came from.

[@elainecolon27]

All his children look like him and each other.OMG!!!

[@alexanderhansen3232]

Good man. He wasn’t responsible for giving out his contact but he did cause he cares for them if ever they long to find their biological father ❤

[@lazitazi5645]

The fact that they brought him photos of their similarities and comparisons 😭😭

[@vedales8670]

So nice he made himself known. Beautiful

[@bluize567]

My late husband was adopted. He loved his adoptive parents, but wanted to know who he looked like (he was Shawnee) A few years before he passed. He met some aunts, uncle's, cousins, his bio mom didn't come, nor his half brother. And sadly he passed never finding his bio father. This make me smile and sad at the same time.

[@G8tr1522]

he's lucky he got to meet any of them.

[@bluize567]

@@G8tr1522 I so wanted him to know who his bio father was. Maybe they have met by now ✌️

[@24warcheif]

Why does it matter when he had adoptive parents who loved him and raised him? Obviously, his biological mother and father didn't care about him, so why did he want to know them. This is why adoption needs to be secret and undisclosed, same with sperm and egg donors because what's the point of raising these kids if the child is just going to seek out the biological parents?

[@user-bo2zv5ks7f]

That's awesome also it helps just in case they needed to know about their families health history and it could save lives knowing what illness runs in their family ❤❤❤❤

[@MicMaine]

He absolutely solidified his bloodline 💪🏾😅

[@vidajones593]

They all have beautifully shaped eyes and nice smiles.

[@christinab9808]

I noticed that too

[@thewizardofoz511]

[@kalayne6713]

This is a precious story. Most sperm donors want nothing to do with the children. It's just a transaction. This is a story of family, so important always.

[@andrewsuleman1259]

He wasn't being generous with his "SEED." HE WAS BROKE! 😂

[@Jj-rq9sp]

😂😂😂. I was thinking about this too he must have really needed the money. I wondered how many donations he made😅

[@jamesstewart2436]

​@@Jj-rq9spHe paid the rent, but he was shooting baby powder! 😂

[@Heather-xz3eo]

Pure speculation

[@ms.whitt2054]

The starving artist syndrome.😫

[@hollymiranda0826]

LOL.

[@talkkitupwithangelamariea]

His son sounds just like him and I noticed they have his head shape off the bat. I know the bond now gotta be extraordinary❤️

[@anyabar4618]

Atleast hes honest to the mom and the kids unlike the guy who fathered thousands.

[@kingcollette]

Did he have any children the old way! What a great story! How fun, having and amazing posterity!! Right on Grampa!!

[@editorgyrl17]

Kind of cool that these 19 people get to meet siblings that all share HALF of their DNA.

[@KARMAFORFUN]

Imagine the reaction people give when you tell them you have 18 siblings without context💀

[@jonnym4670]

h they would just think your mormon

[@madeinussr7551]

Plus the other half or adopted siblings😂

[@StirlingNash]

They’d ask if your last name is Duggar. 😆

[@KillberZomL4D42494]

I guess it's awesome to have 18 half-siblings.
