Hi, I’m a gay man and decided to become a known donor for a lesbian couple after being introduced about a year ago by a mutual friend. I’m out to my family and they accept and love me and are also very close with my partner. However they are from a very conservative country and will have no experience with this type of family formation. I’m struggling a bit to find the right words to explain it. I don’t want to say I’m going to become a father to avoid setting the wrong expectation. But I feel saying “I’m a known donor” will be met with lots of confusion and probably comes across too technical and cold. Does anyone have any experience “coming out” to their family about this and how did you handle it?
