Donor Baby💕

Hi. My beautiful baby girl Brinley is nearly 4 months old. Me and my partner (trans male) conceived her via donor. Our donor is half Argentinian and half Israeli. We want to find the best way to bring her up, knowing about her culture but without being insensitive as we wont ever know what its like to grow up mixed race.
I welcome any and all advice (as long as its brought with kindess)

HI! my wife and I have donor babies! We carried at the same time and both of our babies have different ethnicities. So does our oldest! We just mix all kinds of education about our different cultures. When we teach them we teach them all and let them all know they have different ancestors and traditions based on where they are from and why it’s culturally significant to them specifically. For example, my oldest is indigenous so we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving and have an alternative tradition for that time that has a lot more to do with healthy mourning and respect of course. Also dosed with heavy historically correct history lessons ofc. All the kids participate and learn but we talk about why it’s especially significant for our oldest.

It takes a lot of educating myself so that I can appropriately immerse them all, but it’s worth it!

Anonymous as not told anyone yet

Did anyone have really dark lines on their positive tests pretty early? With my first 2 the lines were pretty faint and I was around 6 weeks when I found out. I’m pregnant again really quickly and the tests I’ve been doing are really dark already but if my last period was actually a period, I’d only be around 4 weeks when I done the tests

What’s easier? Going from 0-1 or 1-2 children?

I know there’s so many factors to consider, but overall, what did you find easier? I’m curious

Low Testosterone

Has anyone had any experience with a partner with low testosterone, i would love him to on medication but apparently it stops sperm production and im pregnant with my first and worry if we manage to fix the low T and relationship we would want more kids.

But if we dont try medication we will probably end up splitting anyway 😭😭😭
