UK identity release law has NOT lead to the reduction of 'donors' - why isn't the media aware of this?

Although the ending of 'gamete donor' anonymity has NOT lead to a reduction in 'gamete donors', and 'donor' numbers have in fact actually INCREASED, (see: http://www.hfea.gov.uk/3411.html and http://www.hfea.gov.uk/1270.html#1292 and http://www.hfea.gov.uk/docs/Who_are_the_donors_factsheet.pdf) the media is still reporting that less 'donors' are coming forward because of the new law.

As a result of this misinformation, a reporter from the UK recently contacted a fellow 'donor conceived' offspring asking if many 'donor conceived' are actually even interested in knowing the 'donor'.

"Why do you seek a mere sperm donor?" the question generally goes, with all kinds of subliminal judgments (shame?) attached - but instead of asking if/why people are interested in knowing the identity of 'the donor' ask if/why people are interested in knowing the identity of their father. Then it really isn't so hard to understand and probably isn't that much of an interesting subject.

I think a much more interesting question would be why WOULDN'T someone want to know the identity of their father and how the term 'sperm donor' might inhibit ones ability to form natural bonds with kin, express feelings and pursue those fundamental, natural connections and curiosities.
