DI Families

Research published in the journal Fertility and Sterility has shown that the quality of parenting and psychological adjustment of egg donation families is generally on a par with that of donor insemination (DI) and IVF families. Mothers and children from 17 families created by egg donation, 35 families created by DI and 34 IVF families were interviewed as the children approached adolescence.

There's more information about donor- conceived people and families on the DC Network web pages.
