This week I would like to welcome Stacy, a thirty-four year old mother of a two year old little girl; Stacy and her husband are expecting a second daughter in August. Living on the central coast of Oregon, Stacy and her family have a dairy farm as well as a footwear manufacturing company.

Originally from Kansas, born and raised,  she moved away shortly after college and eventually she and her husband made their way to Oregon. Stacy learned that she was a donor conceived person (DCP) when she was around fourteen or fifteen years old. After their original disclosure, it wasn’t something that her parents ever discussed with her again.

Stacy is the only child of her parents aside from her father’s adopted son from a previous marriage; he is fifteen years her elder. Her biological father is an anonymous donor who she was able to identify about a year ago through DNA testing and family research. After confirming his relation to her and divulging his medical history, he requested they have no further contact. She is still searching for answers to understand him..... and to understand herself.

If you would like to contact Stacy or have questions or comments about her story, please email [email protected] or DM our Instagram site.
