What it's like having a sperm donor as a dad..(Brief article)
Controversy is brewing over whether sperm donations should be anonymous. Katrina Clark, an 18-year-old sperm-donor offspring who found her biological father, weighs in:
[Q] How did you find your biological father?

I look just like him. It was so emotional. DNA tests confirmed our connection, but I already knew. Now we talk and e-mail each other.
