Dibling

Adibling,aportmanteauof donorsibling,^[1]^[2]or donor-conceived sibling,^[3]or donor-sperm sibling,^[4]is one of two or more individuals who are biologically connected throughdonated eggsorsperm.^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]The term is not favored among some recipient parents, who prefer the use ofhalf-sibling.^[10]

People born from anonymous or ID release sperm or egg donation are able to find half-siblings conceived using the same gamete donor online through theDonor Sibling Registry^[5]or by using commercially-available DNA test kits. DNA testing is more accurate because it relies on comparison ofsingle-nucleotide polymorphismsinstead of gamete donor identification numbers (which may be erroneous).^{[citation needed]}
