越来越多的婴儿是使用捐赠精子出生的，因为孩子缺乏与父亲的基因联系，或者捐赠卵子，因为孩子缺乏与母亲的基因联系。这项研究考察了告诉孩子他们的供体受孕对母子关系和孩子的心理适应的影响。对32个卵子捐献、36个捐赠者人工授精和54个有7岁孩子的自然受孕家庭进行了母亲积极、母亲消极、母子互动和儿童适应的评估。尽管在母亲的负性或儿童适应方面没有发现差异，但不披露配子捐赠家庭的母亲表现出的积极互动比自然受孕家庭的母亲更少，这表明家庭可能受益于公开孩子的基因起源。
An increasing number of babies are being born using donated sperm, where the child lacks a genetic link to the father, or donated eggs, where the child lacks a genetic link to the mother. This study examined the impact of telling children about their donor conception on mother-child relationships and children's psychological adjustment. Assessments of maternal positivity, maternal negativity, mother-child interaction, and child adjustment were administered to 32 egg donation, 36 donor insemination, and 54 natural conception families with a 7-year-old child. Although no differences were found for maternal negativity or child adjustment, mothers in nondisclosing gamete donation families showed less positive interaction than mothers in natural conception families, suggesting that families may benefit from openness about the child's genetic origins.
