This study interviewed adolescents conceived using sperm donation to examine their experiences of contacting and meeting ‘same‐donor offspring’ (i.e. donor‐conceived offspring raised in different families who share the same donor), their motivations for this contact, and how they make meaning of these relationships. This in‐depth qualitative study involved semi‐structured interviews with 23 young people aged 12–19 years (mean = 14 years). Interviewees were motivated by curiosity about their biological relations and by wanting to extend their family. Contact with same‐donor offspring was described as being either normal/neutral or as a unique experience that was integrated into their identity. This study highlights the importance of contact between same donor offspring, particularly during adolescence, a developmental stage associated with identity formation. The findings have important policy implications as they suggest that donor‐conceived individuals may benefit from contact with others conceived using the same donor prior to the age of 18 years.

在以母亲为户主的家庭中通过供体受精受孕的青少年:对接触和会见相同供体后代的动机和经验的定性研究

本研究采访了使用精子捐赠受孕的青少年,以检查他们接触和会见“同一个供体后代”(即在不同家庭中拥有相同供体的供体受孕后代)的经历、他们进行这种接触的动机,以及他们如何产生意义这些关系中。这项深入的定性研究涉及对 23 名 12-19 岁(平均 = 14 岁)的年轻人进行的半结构化访谈。受访者的动机是对他们的生物学关系的好奇以及想要扩大他们的家庭。与相同供体后代的接触被描述为正常/中性或融入其身份的独特体验。这项研究强调了相同供体后代之间接触的重要性,特别是在青春期,与身份形成相关的发展阶段。研究结果具有重要的政策意义,因为它们表明捐赠者受孕的个人可能会受益于与 18 岁之前使用同一捐赠者受孕的其他人的接触。
