I was recruited as a donor many years ago. I donated several times and would be happy if a biological child wanted to contact me. I long ago sent a sample to 23 and Me for other reasons but haven't done anything else. I think what I have done is enough to allow myself to be found if a child wants to find me but not so much that I am chasing them if they don't want to find me. Do you agree that is a reasonable balance to strike? Would you recommend that I send samples elsewhere?

In the post OP says that they started by saying that he had already subscribed to shittyISP's broadband, so they identified themselves.

23 and me runs your DNA against a chip looking for single nucleotide polymorphisms (a place on a gene where one base pair is different) so it would not pick this up.

I hate that there is such taboo about nudity for art and such a double standard. I am a fine art photographer who shoots a lot of nudes and I get asked how my wife feels about that several times a year. My wife is a doctor and sees naked people in her line of work but she's never been asked how I feel about that.

I'm so upset by it that I can't decide whether to make her wear a blindfold or a chastity belt. Have an award for being the first to ask.
