Duh, RTFM. The donor gave his seed anon and you agreed to it. What do you want now...if a person wants to come out publicly a donor #AGF2145, that's their prerogative, not yours.
For me the moral of the story is that sperm banks are not in a position to guarantee donors anonymity. Donating DNA is like donating the most effective way to track you.
It was a close relative. One the donor company found out they blocked her from receiving more of the guys sworn she had already purchased for future kids.
I guess she was attached to the idea of the kids being biological siblings.
How do sperm banks not prevent this (sperm donor being the immediate family of the recipient) from happening in the first place? Seems like this woman might have a case against the sperm bank if she wanted to sue.
No, she found a close relative of the anonymous donor by sending her daughter's dna to 23andMe. It's a privacy / deanonymization issue, not a case of the sperm bank not checking if the donor is related to the recipient.

If you want to have kids, from the same father. Quit crying over your spilt milkshake, and marry one.
