Emma Grønbæk is a Donor Conceived Person (DCP) born in 1996 with the assistance of donor sperm acquired from the Cyros International Sperm Bank in Copenhagen, Denmark. She is now an Author of the book  "Donor Child - A Child of Love". In this episode, we speak to her about her book and her own outlook on what it's like being donor-conceived from a positive perspective.

Emma shares with us that she has no current desire to meet her donor or any potential siblings out there. Also that her parents ignored the doctor's advice at the time to conceal her conception story and how they actually went about it instead. Most DCP live very normal and happy lives, yet most don't feel the need to speak up about it on social media platforms. So it's lovely to hear a very level-headed perspective.

Sonja Thompson was raised in Fargo Dakota, she always knew from a very young age she was attracted to women and is a sucker for a pretty smile and a cute face. So much so that at the age of 23 in Kentucky her then "hot girlfriend" convinced her she was to carry their next child. Previously Soni had no intentions of ever carrying but was talked into it. From there the only question was where to source the sperm? It was hard finding someone willing to donate it and back in that time there were no Sperm Donation World communities, so a  master plan was hatched to acquire the sperm needed by having a threesome, with a man that was thinking he was hitting the jackpot. In fact, the real prize from that night is her son Andrew.

Soni now 52 and single shares her life story, from pulling off the ultimate heist, to confronting the man and what led to her telling him and her experiences raising a young man that had his own fair share of issues along the way.
