CINCINNATI â Carrie Lauterbach said she didn t think much about her biological father for most of her childhood and teenage years.
He was an unidentified sperm donor, part of her mother s fertility treatments in the 1970s, said Lauterbach, a married school nurse raising two children of her own near Dayton. I would just shrug it off because I saw my dad as my real dad, Lauterbach said. He was just a sperm donor.
Lauterbach told the WCPO 9 I-Team she is the younger of two daughters born as a result of her mother s fertility procedures. For (my mother), it was a miracle that she had me, Lauterbach said. She s thankful every day that she was able to have my sister and I.
