In this episode, Ally, Shannon, and Jeremy begin to unpack the idea of donor anonymity. Is it possible to stay anonymous in 2022? Why would a donor choose anonymity? Which right is more important: the right to privacy or the right to know?
We probably don't come to any big conclusions in this episode and have only scratched the surface of the nuances of donor anonymity and what that looks like. But we have thoughts and feelings on the topic, so what better way to flesh those thoughts out than a round table discussion with your donor conceived half sibs?!

What do YOU think? What did we nail, and what did we totally miss? Reach out & let us know!
