Jillian always knew she was conceived via an anonymous sperm donor. Raised the only child of an open and supportive single mother, she took a DNA test in October of 2020 in an effort to identify her biological father.  Fairly quickly, Jillian's DNA discovery lead her not only to the medical information that she was seeking, but to another family with whom she discovered she had much in common.  With this genetic information, she has also had the chance to develop a relationship with her younger biological brother.     

As vice president of government affairs for the U.S. Donor Conceived Council, Jillian leads efforts to develop legislation that considers the best interests of donor conceived people.  You can contact Jillian at [email protected]  At just 26 years old, Jillian holds a degree in biology, a masters of public health and a masters of business administration. She will begin law school in the fall of 2022.
