I am itching to know more about them and their child! I'd be totally open to meeting them some day.

FWIW, I grew up knowing that I had a half-brother but not knowing anything about him. He tracked down me and my brother and sister a few years ago and we've all really been happy to foster that connection.

Our donor has over 100 children (note that most families have 2 or more kids so it's not 100 families.)<br /><br />We've discovered the donor's true identity through the group which we actually like--nice to know a name to go with the number. Just because.

Our group started a Facebook group a little while ago; before that we had a Yahoo group and we occasionally share information and photos.
