How can I tell my child they were conceived through IVF with an anonymous sperm donor?

Maybe you could let them know that you loved them so much even before they were conceived, and was having trouble to become pregnant, you decided to get the extra help conceiving, to give them a place in your heart.

It depends on the emotional age of your child and their readiness for this information. I would suggest a conversation explaining that children have many ways of coming to their parents, and that you did what you had to do to make your child be born/made. All children no matter how they were conceived are precious, and a seed used to fertilize an egg is always perfect, no matter whose seed it is. Perhaps explaining how conception occurs first, then what process IVF takes, may make a good impact.

Just tell your child the truth. They might be offended that they will never know who their Dad is, but they'll get over it. Some day he/she will realize that you wanted them that bad. You wanted to be their Mother that bad that you did that to have them. Just an opinion.

This depends on the age of the child. Remember, this is only a child and this maybe an attempt to free yourself from bad feelings about having an IVF birth. IVF births are a wonderful creation. It is a relatively new technique to the family world and this "newness" may need time to settle into you first. Looking inside and discovering the reasons why you feel it is necessary to tell your child about this may be resolved by understanding your own feelings first. Involve the child in this as little as possible and pour your love and care on him.

I think it depends on the age of the child, I'll assume they are very young for starters. Most things can be easily explain to children trough a story. In this case, you can take the opportunity to give him/her a science lesson that would be according to his or her age. They can easily get to the conclusion that the story of how they came into the world is pretty cool, and don't forget that sci-fi is still trending, so children are most likely not foreign to such language. When they ask where do babies come from, you can take the chance and explain to them that there are many ways in which that can happen, through nature and through medical science (the last of the options is something that most parents simply forget to mention, which is a shame, because it's a cool story that can put ideas into your child's mind about how cool the field is). I don't think that this would affect him, especially at an early age. On the contrary, it would probably steer the fantasy of the child in a neat direction.

IVF conception is nothing to be embarassed about, or negative in any way. as your child starts asking the typical questions about his birth, explain in simple words but without lies the process, from a biological point of view. when the kid is too young he may not be entirely able to understand it, but if you lie of avoid the question waiting for him to be old enough, you will most likely confuse him or he may feel they have lied to him. direct answers is usually what kids get and value the most

You can share with your wonderful blessing of a child how they were conceived by seeing how they are open to maybe sharing something little on the topic. See how open minded they are,or if they just don't understand about IVF. You will know though of the right moment to have that 1-1 talk with your child. And how they react and understand this is how prepared you are and how you show your emotions. Good luck with this

No Not Necessarily it Depends on How the Patient Feels!!! and If they want to spend the Money on Medication

The most important thing I think a child needs to hear is that they were wanted and are loved. This is the case even through IVF and if anything, it shows the lengths you went to ensure that this little person came to be. You can perhaps add the special way the child came into the world and how wonderful it is that they are here.

Honesty is the best policy, explain the situation regarding your decision to be impregnated calmly and with as much love as you can. Your child's reaction may not be what you would hope for but it would be better coming from you in a safe setting.
