The number of children being born via donor conception (donor sperm, donor egg, and donor embryo) is expanding. In many ways it feels that we are standing on a precipice. We have such an opportunity in front of us to avoid some of the mistakes made in the past with both sperm donation and adoption, and yet I fear we are not learning.
The majority of the survey was multiple choice, but I was most interested in the open ended questions. Here just a few responses and I strongly encourage you to go to the We Are Donor Conceived site to read the rest and to see the word cloud made of the responses.
Q: When you first found out you are donor conceived, how did you feel?
Q: How do you currently feel about being donor conceived?
If you are interested in donor conception and how to do it well, check out the survey and the website for We Are Donor Conceived.
