I also think this is not something to just freak out about. There are registries. one is free and new and called donoroffspringmatches.com. Anyone can register. There is also a great place for people to post health issues in donor offspring. It is called donoroffspringhealth.com. Both are newer sites.

I know you can register at both and both are free. Thankfully my donor conceived child is healthy but there are places where you can connect and find out this info.

No worries

I'm sure this is an isolated incident, which happened against incredible odds. Egg and sperm donation still seem to be safe - effective ways for us to grow our families.

Let's not over-react.

The Los Angeles Times reports a disturbing story coming from San Diego. It involves an egg donor who carries a rare genetic mutation that can lead to an early death of her offspring. This particular neurological disease usually kills its victims before age 5.
