The Truth About Assisted Conception and Children's Well-Being.

A study conducted over two decades found that children born via egg or sperm donation and surrogacy were psychologically well-adjusted, especially if parents told the children about their birth history before age 7. Children as young as 7 will already have a basic understanding of genetics, and can be surprised when they learn they aren’t genetically connected to one or both parents. Parents should share the story of donor conception with their children at a very early age to avoid hurting their trust in their parents and their identity development.
