Donor Dad Questionnaire

Most children in our experience will want to know you as a real person- rather than a number on a catalogue- as early as possible. They want to know that you chose their parent/s – and have an interest in what happens post conception- even just to know they are going to be loved and well cared for. They want to know 'real' things about you- and the following list has been created based on what the children I have worked with, would like to know about their donor dad. It doesn't mean they will want to meet you- but they will, more likely than not, want to know of you. This information is invaluable growing up- especially when other children start asking questions. Even taking the time to write it shows the child you cared enough- and will mean the world to them.
The Child Listener™ is working with other professionals to create books, pamphlets and workshops to help parents of sperm donor conceived children transition from the early years through to adulthood with a positive self-image linked with knowledge of their biological origins. In part this means knowing of their biological identity. This questionnaire shows them parts of you- and you will be a part of them forever, regardless of whether you are involved post conception or not.
Use these questions as a starting point- answer as simply or fully as you wish- change the questions if you wish- and add more. You can do this without giving information that would lead to you being traced- if this is a concern to you.
Ask yourself- if I didn't know anything about my biological father- what would I have wanted to know.
If possible, please type the answers to the questions- and handwrite the personal message at the end, and end it with your name (in your handwriting).
If you do have a photo – even if it is you as a child- and don't mind adding it- that would be wonderful. Children also love to see pics of your pets etc.
Thank you so much for the gift of life- and for taking the time to help these families and children even after conception. This information is invaluable to so many.
