A report released this week by the Institute for American Values, My Daddy's Name is Donor, is the first-ever representative, comparative attempt to learn about the identity, kinship, well-being, and social justice experiences of these adults. The study reveals that young adults conceived through sperm donation are hurting more, are more confused, and feel more isolated from their families. They fare worse than their peers raised by biological parents on important outcomes such as depression, delinquency, and substance abuse. The report also claims that donor conception is not “just like” adoption. BioEdge, NY Times
