根据现行的法律的规定，在英国诊所进行供体授精时，妇女可以“选择”供体的特定特征。也允许保留来自特定捐赠者的精子以备将来使用。这些规定传统上与促进异性恋夫妇"通过“作为"家庭”有关。相反，本文讨论了这些做法对一些女同性恋夫妇的意义。我探讨建设隐含的（种族和文化）捐赠者怀孕的孩子和共同的母亲之间的生物遗传联系，并共同的母亲的大家庭。我还研究了使用相同的捐赠者为“完整”的兄弟姐妹。最后，我讨论了一些影响，我们的理解女同性恋家庭建设。
Under current legal regulations, when undertaking donor insemination at British clinics, women are able to ‘choose’ particular characteristics of donors. It is also permissible to reserve sperm from a particular donor for future use. These provisions have traditionally been associated with facilitating heterosexual couples to ‘pass’ as ‘the family’. In contrast, this article discusses the significance of these practices for some lesbian couples. I explore the construction of implied (racial and cultural) bio-genetic links between donor-conceived children and co-mothers, and to co-mothers’ extended families. I also examine the use of the same donor for ‘full’ siblings. In conclusion I discuss some of the implications for our understanding of lesbian family construction.
