How to tell your children...

My husband and I are not exactly on the same page with what/when/whether-to tell our children about being the product of a donor. My opinion is that he/she has a right to know (medical history, ethically, etc). My husband doesn't see the point. Because he wouldn't care if he was, he thinks it would not make any difference to our child. I am terrified that the child would find out later and have an identity crisis or be bitter. And what if something came up that he would have to know his medical history (what if he wanted to join the military, become a donor, or what if he, himself had infertility). Open to discussion, thoughts, resources on the topic of when couples disagree on telling the child of donor sperm...I have found children's books on how to tell them, but I am really interested in how you come to that decision, what age, etc. Thanks ahead of time.
