    Thanks, everyone. This is all kind of sudden - since realizing that in order to guarantee that our baby would be born here, we'll need to get pregnant by late December at the latest. Why is it important that our baby be born here, you ask? Smile Because we're not sure where we'll be at this point (thanks, DOMA, for not letting my wife sponsor me for a green card, and thanks, green card-through-employment-sponsorship process, for being effing insane). Consequently, we're not sure K would have any parental rights if our child were born elsewhere (since here, we can at least do a second-parent adoption, which would be recognized by a U.S. Embassy or Consulate wherever we end up). Oh, the fun. We both feel like there's another one of us who's supposed to be in our family, and now we have to make it happen now.

    I was talking to K yesterday about feeling like we need to have to have the same donor for our second child. Because there's a genetic link to K (and her family), I'm afraid a second child without this link would be treated differently by some members of the family. Since we don't plan on keeping this info from J and other still-to-come kid(s) if/when they ask, I'm also concerned that having a child who's genetically related to K and one who isn't might be an issue for the child who isn't.

    If we'd gone with an anonymous donor for J, I would have no problem having a different anonymous donor for a second child, but because we didn't, and it's someone who's related to K, I now feel stuck. If he says no, I won't know what the heck to do. So there we go. Thoughts and positive vibes are definitely appreciated.
