Are you considering starting assisted reproduction as the answer to your infertility struggles? There are some significant things to keep in mind if you want to become a parent to a donor-conceived individual. These include mental health, donor medical history, your insecurities, and more.
In this episode of the Finding Fertility podcast, I speak with Laura High, a standup comic and sperm donor baby who does comedic takedowns of the Infertility industry and explains how donor conception actually works. She discusses her experience of contacting her donor, discovering her Jewish heritage, and discovering potential siblings.
Listen in to learn the importance of addressing trauma before starting assisted reproduction to become a better parent. You will also learn about the positive impact of allowing your donor-conceived child to meet their biological parents.
“The infertility trauma does not go away; a child is not a cure for the trauma.”
