Eric's DNA Surprise


Listen Later

DNA tests. NPE. Donor conception. Politics. In this week’s episode of DNA Surprises, I’m joined by Eric, who learned that he was donor-conceived after taking a 23andMe test.

He shares why he decided to take the test, why he waited three years before doing anything with his surprising results, and how his discovery impacted his relationship with his parents. He also shares how he has connected with his newfound siblings and the larger DCP community.
Towards the end of the episode, Eric provides us with a quick history lesson on the origins of donor conception, so be sure to listen.

Thanks to Eric for sharing his story.
