A lot of trouble for very little? If its absolutely important for your children to be statistically correlated to you, beyond the 99.9% that all humans are ALREADY correleated? It's been said that adoptive children are sometimes loved too.

Four billion years of evolution have tended to make us prefer our own children to those of others.

Which probably doesn't relate much to laboratory modification of your genome.

It seems a very conscious act to go to the trouble to modify your genome in the lab. Leaving little room for evolutionary impulse to be the guiding factor.
