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

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.....
