The Stork and I

S5: E7 Being donor conceived and using donor conception to conceive


Listen Later

In todays episode I chat to Freya. 

Freya is donor conceived and was raised by 2 mums. Then, her and her wife used donor sperm to conceive a daughter, so she has perspectives of both being donor conceived and also being a recipient parent. 

**Warning: we discuss some characteristics of the sperm donor Freya used in the episode**

 

In this episode we cover: 

- Feelings about being donor conceived

- A good age to meet donor siblings

- Finding your donor through DNA testing

- How it feels to connect with your donor

- What language feels comfortable

- Considering using a known donor

- The importance of constantly learning

and much much more!
