Of course it doesn't make sense if you put it like that. But if you know a little bit about egg donations, you know that they're usually done when the woman is infertile. What I obviously meant was that it happened according to both Sakura's and Sasuke's wish. It wouldn't ruin anyone's character. Those things are common. I have the feeling you guys are only imagining the possibilities in a way they would appear pointless and avoid any other legitimate, logical and plausible scenario. My problem with the scenario is that the whole Sarada situation is poorly handled. if what you say is true, and of all the Karin + Sasuke situations it's definitely the best, why go through all the trouble? Couldn't Sakura simply have said "yes you're adopted" and be over with it? It's something any adoption parent has to deal with, and given that this world had child soldiers and probably plenty of orphans during the Warring States period, it seems that there would be plenty of experience and understanding regarding these situations. Including how to tell kinds, in a normal way, that their mommy/daddy isn't their genetic daddy/mommy but still the one who raised them.

I don't really care about how it makes sasuke look, it's more about how it makes Sakura and even Naruto look. I'm still vouching for Sakura-Sasuke as long as that's the better option for the characters involved. I really do hope for a good, sensible conclusion to this mess that doesn't just explain this weird parenting, but also this weird secrecy. Including secrecy from the Hokage despite the fact that a high medical ninja like Shizune was apparently aware of this.
