Abstract
Las Madres Solteras por Elección (mspe) que han concebido mediante donación de semen suelen revelar “sus orígenes” a los hijos/as y disponen de una rica narrativa para ello. Así, las mspe difieren de las parejas que acuden a la reproducción asistida a causa de la infertilidad del hombre. La explicación más frecuente de esta diferencia es que la revelación de “los orígenes” supone revelar simultáneamente la infertilidad y la inexistencia de vínculos biológicos entre hijo/a y padre social. Esto no se plantea con las mspe porque se trata de familias donde “no hay padre” y la ausencia de éste es objeto de un trabajo expreso de “desproblematización”, por ejemplo, desconsiderando al genitor como “donante”, papel que es disociado del de pareja o padre. A ello se añade la distinta legitimidad que tiene la procreación sexual según se trate de una mujer sola o de una mujer que vive en pareja.
Single mothers by choice (smbc) who follow an assisted reproduction process usually disclose this origin to their offspring and have a rich narrative to do so. In this respect smbc are different from couples that make use of assisted reproduction because of infertility problems in the male partner. The most frequent explanation for this contrast is that, in the case of couples, it simultaneously involves disclosing male infertility and the lack of a biological relationship between the child and the social father. This does not happen in the case of smbcC where “there are no fathers” and this circumstance is the center of an explicit “de-problematization” effort on the part of mothers by, for example, defining the genitor as a “donor”, and dissociating this role from a parental or spousal figure. Additionally, there are differences in the legitimacy of sexual reproduction in the case of single women and couples.
