Hello. If you’re reading this then your parents have told you how you were born. There are plenty of donor-conceived people out there so you’re not alone but it does make you special. Your parents went through a lot to have you, and no-one does that if they haven’t got a lot of love to give and a great desire to have a child. This is an unusual letter for me to write and quite a strange one for you, too so I’ll try and tell you a lot, but I can’t tell you my name, you have to ask the clinic to pass on a letter. By then I’ll know approximately how many children (could be 1, could be 15) have been created from my donations and if there’s a few, I’ll register on a donor sibling registry website for you to meet your siblings. As I write, this is becoming increasingly popular. For a start, you have an older half-brother, and he knows about you. At the time of writing, he’s only a baby with a fat face, grasping fingers and extremely powerful lungs, so I can’t tell you how he’s going to turn out, and if he’s like you. However, working from my own appearance, you should be of medium height, with a medium build, slightly ginger with a high IQ. Remember, your parents are the ones that bought you the bike, changed your nappies and hugged you all those years; I’m just a bloke that visited a clinic in the same way my wife gives blood. That aside, I do hope that you’re happy and successful in whatever you do, and yes, I’d love to meet you if you want to. If not, don’t worry, you’re master of your own destiny and so forth. I’m a keen amateur gardener; I grow rare, exotic and novelty plants as well as kitchen herbs and fruit. I’ve had a few other hobbies over the years, I spent some time researching my family tree, and developed a board game after all the ones on the market got too simple. I’m not a great painter but I try; I do better at mosaics/compound abstract art forms. I write stories, sketches and poems, but most are for fun. I suspect you are extremely good at anything that takes your interest, so I hope there’s a few strings to your bow.
