Building your family

Kiara Rae Schuh, DCP, Author, Modern Thinker.

In this episode, we meet Kiara Schuh.  She is a Donor Conceived Person who was raised by a Single Mom by Choice. She recently published her memoir, Chosen Family, and is trying to redefine society's notion of the traditional family. 

 

She is an accountant by trade but felt that she had to tell her story to the world and enlighten people about the many ways people feel about being donor conceived.  Her story is different, and also and the same as many others, which sheds light on the fact that we can no longer make assumptions about how anyone defines family.

 

Kiara shares amazing insights on the importance of openness in donor conception and why she does not want to call her genetic father “dad”.  She opens our eyes and helps us see biology, and friendships, in a different way.

 

Enjoy!
