I was born through artificial insimmination and have heard that when im 18 i can have access to my biological father.

However, as much as im desperate to know about my genes and heritage im not desperate to actually 'meet' him. Does anyone know my rights to information?

Thanks

i wouldnt have thought you would be aloud to do that. i should imagine the donnor has rights to his privacy over you having rights to know who is it??

he would have to give permission for them to give his details to you.

sorry if this isnt much help, i really wouldnt get your hopes up, he is just a donnor.
From this website it looks as if the law has been changed.However,it only covers sperm donors from the date of the law change FORWARDS(2005) not for any donation of sperm backwards from then.
In other words,any children conceived in this way(from 2005 onwards) WILL be able to trace their Father,sadly those before 2005 will NOT.
As you are already conceived you fall into the latter category.This is what I understand from this article,but have a look and see what you think?
