Though an investigation in the 80s found no proof due to lack of his DNA, two matches were confirmed in 2022 — but the kids were kept in the dark under a confidentiality agreement. It wasn’t until 2023, when a new hospital chairman took over, that the truth came to light. Goormans is now deceased, but his family agreed the children deserved to know their origins. The hospital reached out to the two confirmed kids just weeks ago, apologized for Goormans’ actions, and launched a full investigation — led by a professor with experience in similar cases — inviting anyone who may be donor-conceived to come forward.
