to identify at least a dozen half siblings. i look at this photo and i think a lot of things. i m sad that i was so dispensable and i m super creeped out. it s a hurtful photo because, like, lam. i am nothing to my biological father. that hurts. it seems so cold and calculated, and it is something so foreign to who i am and how i go through life, and how i experience my relationships, that it s hard for me to relate to someone like that. but at what point do you become so callous to this and so calculated that this is just a normal routine? like, how does this become normalised for him? the bbc reached out to both dr kim mcmorries in texas and dr paul bjones in colorado. neither responded to our multiple requests for comment. i feel like this circumstance
that it s hard for me to relate to someone like that. but at what point do you become so callous to this and so calculated that this is just a normal routine? like, how does this become normalised for him? the bbc reached out to both dr kim mcmorries in texas and dr paul bjones in colorado. neither responded to our multiple requests for comment. i feel like this circumstance bringing us together has really been the only silver lining to this entire situation. to be able to look at someone and see a bit of yourself, it was a unique and new experience for me that i found very settling and comforting. absolutely agree. that s. .. that was one of the things when we first met, it was this instant connection. something that, you know, i ve never had before, i ve never experienced before. it s only been a year, but, like, i also can t imagine my life without her.
i ve seen any of these. mom and dad - on their wedding day. they re, like, the age your kids are. yeah, dad is, for sure. yeah. there s me out of the womb. and there s my dad holding me. i always wanted children. from the time i was a little kid, i always pictured myself a mother and having children. hi! well, i had had testicular cancer. that made it difficult for me to father a child. between the two of us, we sought out drjones to help us conceive and start a family. would you say you trusted him? yes, very much so. cheryl and john also fell victim to their fertility doctor, dr paul bjones of grand junction, colorado. they went to him twice for help in the 1980s. and both times, he allegedly used his own sperm without their consent
for the will of the patient. so, did we decide, are we going to do the family dinner- when it s my turn, just on. i think we should because it s your turn to host the family dinner anyways, right? 0k. we had the option of feeling sorry for ourselves and doing nothing and staying hidden. or we could go public and file a lawsuit and pass laws and try and make something positive come out of this. and so that s the route we ve chosen. the emmons family, along with other possible offspring of dr paul bjones, have sued him for the alleged unconsented use of his sperm in many procedures that took place between 1975 and 1989. in drjones s defence, he said cheryl had consented to being inseminated with sperm of an anonymous donor, and that s what she got. poor cat. i know, he worked all night. the toughest part is waiting for some sort of resolution. j
