Re: the link
I haven't read it yet-- but just at a glance I wouldn't have a problem with H donating his sperm to a couple we knew. I wouldn't necessarily want him to do it the old fashioned way though lol.
ETA: Yeah the way they did it would not be the way I would want to do this. I would want to go a medical route. I hope that that is MUD, but life is too weird for that I think.
I don't know if I would be okay with H being a sperm donor, actually. I don't know if I'd be okay with being an egg donor. I don't think either of us would be able to close off our emotions in that type of situation. That child would always feel like "ours", if that makes sense.
Edit: As to the link, I thought it was pretty entertaining MUD.
At least, I really hope it's MUD.
It had better be MUD.

I could donate but I would be extremely selective who I would do it for. That future parent would have to become close to me like my sister. Someone having half my genetic code but not having parental rights, wouldn't bother me. It would feel like they are a part of my family. My niece despite being my sister's kid, looks and acts just like me. Emotionally it gets confusing (especially since I had a late-term miscarriage years ago) but seeing how much my sister loves her makes it easier to deal with.
But the method this lady is talking about sounds like something on daytime tv. I can just see Jerry now "What's wrong with a turkey baster?"
I just refuse to believe that someone would decide to go to a hotel room with their husband and another couple (while she's pregnant no less!). Then proceed to have sex with her husband in front of the other couple. Then she allows her husband to thrust into another woman to blow his load and climax.
Just no.
Then there's all of the legal concerns. Wasn't there a news article in the past few years about a lesbian couple that separated and one went after the "donor" friend for child support?
Wait. What? no. I do not believe this. No, I do not.
Click me, click me!
I don't get this? The egg wouldn't be your child but H's sperm would be his? I don't know why there's a difference.
I'm not sure that I'd be okay donating or having H donate. I might consider surrogacy for one of my sisters or my BFF if they couldn't do it, after I've had a kid or two of my own, but it would have to be their egg/sperm, not ours..
Oh heck no.
I don't think I would be comfortable being an egg donor or with my spouse being a sperm donor. Especially to people we knew well. Maybe that makes me selfish, but I just feel like it would wreak havoc on our relationship.
And the way they did it? *vom*
I'm really hoping that's MUD. It took my mind off my crummy night for a while though!
