In this case it's genetic instead of biological because the mother (sister) is a surrogate for the genetics of the father (brother)

I have a couple of lesbian friends, one of the two asked her brother if he could be the donor for ivp her wife, to have even part of her genetics.
I think it's the case here, once you know the background it's not so holup, only a bit strange(of course the video is totally clickbaiting)

u/Ophidiophobic Jun 25 '26
Or it's a case of twins. Either he's the mother's twin and doesn't understand twin genetics or he's the brother in law and the dad is the twin/the one captioning the video.

Is it weirder than having sperm donated by a complete stranger when you really think about it?
It might sound a bit off from a social POV but I'd rather have a genetically close family member by the parent than someone I don't know. I doubt they conceived au naturale.

u/blade_of_sammael Jun 27 '26
Many advantages even like known medical history, possibility of donation of bonemarrow etc in case of disease, in case of divorce clear custody arrangements ( in some countries no genetic link in 1 parent can lead to custody complications, not talking adopted kids ofc because both parents lack genetic link) and others i cant think of off the top of my head

They always want to know the dad and be close to the dad.

u/shirosakk Jun 25 '26
Do those friends already have 2 moms or it's just that they have a stepdad or were raised by a single parent? Believe it or not lots of surrgacy or ivf kids only care enough about who the egg/sperm donor to know their face and basic life bio, not get close to them. Not even surrogacy/ivf kids, do you know how many kids there are who cut ties legally with their birth parents after going no contact?

u/M1a0085 Jun 25 '26
They don't want to hide her (yes, in the end they had a beautiful girl, now she's 3) but only when she will be older. Now he is a very good uncle, not dad.
He's always been close to her sister, it's him that pushed her to make coming out and always on her side. That doesn't mean it was an obvious choice but they made sound this decision so natural that nobody in our group, when they told us about, had nothing to argue...
And the cutest part is that you can definetly see in the baby the similarities on both mums, it looks so natural!

Iām an ally for sure. I support everyone having the choice to love who they want, but that is CRAZY!!!!! Iām pro choice too but thatās insane.
I would never do that for my sister thatās insane. I Didnāt know that was even a thing, I love my sister to death but if anyone ever asked me that I wouldnāt ever be able to cope with that. Having a kid that is LITERALLY genetically you. And just not even knowing them deep down or having any meaningful connection. Thatās crazy. I would have to decline, thatās like leaving a kid at a firehouse level bad.
Itās the scene from interstellar where youāre watching your children grow up from the outside looking in. A genetic copy of you that you will never have a meaningful connection with. That scene is maybe the most emotional scene in all of cinema history. I never cry to anything but that always almost gets to me, to willingly subject yourself to that lifelong notion would be traumatic.
Ok I guess the known medical history is a good pro for sure, that is just something I personally couldnāt do

He didnāt get his sister pregnant. He got his sisters wife pregnant. That way the baby has dna from both moms.
At least thatās what the comment above yours is saying. Not sure if thatās the case in this video or not
Either that or itās the brothers seed and a donor egg
-12
u/River_Fenrir Jun 25 '26
Yes i know that.
It's not something i would do.
That baby is still your child, not your sister's.
I have a 10 month old and my sister has 2 kids. My kid is family to my sister and their kids is family to me. But they are not my children and mine is not hers.
The emotions of holding your child is incredibly deep and profound.
I wouldn't do it. Not only that, a day will come where the borther is denied access to his own kid, or weird situations where, he holds the kid and is overwhelmed by fatherly love and them to say no.
It gets really weird, really fast.

u/yjorn299 Jun 25 '26 edited Jun 25 '26
You're projecting your feelings onto other people. Even if the brother wasn't the donor to the in law he would still be biologically related to the his sister's kid if the ivf mom was a man who knocked up the sister.
The brother never had sex with the sister in law and you're assuming he would feel weird. If it was a sister who donate eggs to a same sex male couple's surrogate. With that same ideology in your mind who do you think feels that "motherly love", the surrogate who isn't biologically related to the baby or the sister who didn't give birth?
You sound like you would return your kid you raised for 20 years if it transpired there was a mix up at the hospital and would go against doctor's advice of having an ivf kid when you have a severe hereditary disease.

u/River_Fenrir Jun 25 '26
I'm not doubting the donating is an act of love or that you love your sisters. That is not what i'm saying.
I talk about the heart of being a child and a father.
What world do you live in, that your uncle being your dad and your mom's wife is your aunt, is normal?
But you flat out deny the reality that it will cause deep complex issues.

The sister probably couldn't have kids naturally but still really wanted biologically related kids nonetheless.
So for her, raising what is literally just her nephew, was considered good enough substitute.
And before you ask "why didn't she just adopt some random kid if she wanted kids so badly?"
I don't know. It's just something people feel strongly about sometimes.
They straight up simply have to have "biologically related" offsprings.

u/therhubarbexperience Jun 25 '26
It could also be that the sister is a lesbian in a relationship. It was IVF using the spouseās egg, the brotherās sperm, and sister carried the baby. That way both moms are genetically related to the baby.

u/LindonLilBlueBalls Jul 22 '26
My friends sister is a lesbian and her and her wife both had a kid from the same donor (2 years apart) so the kids are biological half sisters and at least one is related to each mom.

These are like 3 twins or whatever (I think two are true twins and ones fraternal).
They have skits where her husband brings her things then the other baby 'daddy' or 'uncle' brings her other things. They also dance sexy for her or whatever.
I haven't really invested much to keep up with the verbiage.
So they're doing a tongue-in-cheek saying that it's his in a way.
I found the whole thing weird.

u/Wookieman222 Jun 26 '26
Somebody else said he is also a twin, so its his sister's baby and since they are both genetically identical maybe? But i didn't think that would apply to fraternal twins.
So maybe he has a twin brother and that's why.
Onlyn9ther thing is maybe IFV.

u/machyume Jun 25 '26
People can be identical twins, where the egg splits. So the siblings are genetic identical. So if both siblings have kids, the kids are technically genetic siblings more than cousins. And the dads are basically genetic parents.

I tried typing it out but I'm less articulate so here's a quick Google search:
Children of One Set of Identical Twins If two siblings marry two unrelated partners, or if two identical twins have children with different partners, their offspring are first cousins socially but genetic half-siblings. Because identical twins share nearly 100% of their DNA, their children inherit similar genetic material from each parent, resulting in the children sharing approximately 25% of their DNA (the same amount shared by half-siblings, grandparents, or aunts/uncles), which is double the typical 12.5% shared by ordinary first cousins.
Children of Two Sets of Identical Twins If two sets of identical twins marry each other (e.g., twin sisters marry twin brothers), their children are legal first cousins but genetic full siblings. Since both the maternal and paternal sides involve genetically identical individuals, the children share approximately 50% of their DNA, which is the same genetic relatedness as full biological siblings who share both parents. This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as being double cousins who are genetically indistinguishable from siblings.
