I would not set a frequency on talking. It is not about 'getting the info across' but 'opening the topic, this topic =ok'. It is about the way you talk about it with your child (with confidence, accepting differences in how you as parent/ child experience DC, handling own emotions etc). #ESHREjc

From practice experience: teenagers might be curious but are also aware that you get info abou/ meet a genetic related stranger. That can be daunting as you don't know how it will turn out. Some want to wait until they feel a little bit more self-confident to handle it ( healthy coping) #ESHREjc

This also a one-point in time set-up ( understandable, no critique to the study) but people might have different views in 1 year for example. We should be carefull to treat these answer as if they were 'final' answers/ decision #ESHREjc

We should not forget the age of the participants. While 'wanting donorinformation or not' might seem/ is an interesting question for research there might be/is lot's of other stuff going on in a teenagers life that might be much more interesting than donorinfo #ESHREjc

There is a worldwide lack of post-conception psychosocial support for parents, donors and DCP ( see Paper Goedeke, Crawshaw, Indekeu) disclosure is not just about 'giving info' but much more about emotions ( insecurity, nervous,...) #ESHREjc

Both -donor and DCP- should be given the opportunity of support ( managing expectations, exploring if each wants contact, what kind of contact, in what way, if eg partner of the donor, his /her children know about the donation,...) #ESHREjc

YET, support for parents and DCP is essential to understand requests and guide questions regarding donor information througout all ages #ESHREjc

I wrote a paper together with Dutch colleagues ( legal experts and ethicist and psychologist) in Human Fertility. Access to your origine is a human right. From a legal point you need to have very strong/essential arguments to give DCP not access to this information. There weren'r any #ESHREjc
