Children conceived by using egg or sperm donors have the same well-being outcomes as non-donor conceived people.

However, they are more likely to have identity difficulties and issues with trust. Secrecy and anonymity about their genetic parentage can have a profound impact on well-being say authors. They warn that children and adults conceived using donor gametes have not been centred in the assisted reproductive industry and more information is needed about adult wellbeing.by researchers King's College London.

The findings also showed children fared better when they were told they were donor conceived early. In the UK, donor anonymity has been against the law for those conceived after 2005 but children must wait until they are 18 years old to access information. Senior author Professor Susan Bewley from King's College London said:"Donor conceived children are always planned for and wanted, as one or more of their parents would have had fertility issues. This might explain better relationships with their family and higher wellbeing. However, much of the conversation around innovation in the assisted reproductive industry concentrates on the customers and potential parents rather than the people they want to create.
