Pregnancy outcome, health of children, and family adjustment after donor insemination.

We evaluated the pregnancies of 427 women who conceived through artificial insemination by donor (AID) at our clinic over a 12-year period. Initial phone contact was followed by a questionnaire. Outcome was known for 594 of the 606 pregnancies, with a total of 502 live-born children including 15 sets of twins. We conclude that AID children are at similar risk for congenital anomalies as normally conceived children, but they experience lower rates of family dissolution
