A 27-year-old man decided to sign up as a donor some time ago, and he did it because he really did need to make a bit of cash.
He figured if someone wanted to go through with using him as a donor, it would be at least 18 years until any of his biological children would try to find him.
His family was never aware that he did this until his brother Chris and his sister-in-law Janette found his profile on a site.
“They found out I’m a donor because they looked on the same site,” he explained. “None of my personal info is on it except for a childhood picture of me and some vague info of what I studied in school and stuff.”
“But obviously Chris recognized me. And they both sat me down pretty much to ask for my blessing…I said no.”
He was not ok with Chris and Janette wanting to do this at all, and it was just too close for comfort, especially since he spends a lot of time with his brother and sister-in-law.
He found it incredibly bizarre for his sister-in-law to even want to technically carry his biological child in the first place, and he couldn’t even imagine having to tell this child at some point in their life that their uncle is the one who is their father.
Chris and Janette were upset when he did not give them permission to go through with using him as a donor, but they dropped the topic so he believed it was all behind them.
A couple of months after this conversation, Chris and Janette announced their pregnancy, but they never owned up to the fact that they decided to use him as a donor despite him saying he didn’t condone this at all.

Eventually, Chris owned up to everything, since this child is going to be born pretty shortly.
“I felt a rush of so many emotions but most of all I was angry,” he said. “And yeah I did call them selfish and crazy because did they didn’t consider how this would affect the child when they found out about their biological dad.”
“How would that affect them mentally. And also what it would do to me seeing my biological child all the time.”
He knows this is going to really mess him up having to spend so much time around a child that’s his and that his sister-in-law carried.
When he told Chris and Janette how angry he was, Janette burst into tears and Chris accused him of “insulting them after everything they’ve gone through.”
Now his mom and dad have gotten themselves in the middle of this, and they are not happy that Chris pulled the trigger on this.
At the same time, his mom and dad don’t believe that he is allowed to be judgemental of Chris and Janette.
He just cannot get over how weird this all is and he’s overwhelmed. He’s wondering if he is wrong to have made Chris and Janette feel insulted over this.
