The Stork and I

S5: E5 Finding out you’re donor conceived in your teens


Listen Later

In todays episode I speak to Emily. 

Emily was conceived using a sperm donor and raised by a solo parent. Because it was pretty common to be a solo parent family where Emily grew up, she didn't ask many questions about her father until her mum showed her a documentary about donor conception when she was in her teens, and she realised that she was conceived with a donor. 

We explore the impact of not having those in depth conversations at an earlier age. 

 

In todays episode we cover: 

- Finding out you're donor conceived through watching a documentary

- The impact of not having conversations about donor conception from an early age

- The experience of meeting your donor

- How it feels to connect with donor siblings 

- Advice for others 

and much more.....
