Ever heard the phrase ?

The explanation given here by DCP Tiffany a few years ago is a good clea one.

And how amazing is that photo?!

Sending love and strength to everyone navigating Sibling Season 2024.

Hi. I’m Tiffany, and I am a donor-conceived person. I learned this in 2018 at 35 years old. My parents used an anonymous s***m donor, but I identified him through a commercial DNA test. We became close friends for a year before his social family took issue. Now we are no longer in contact.

This experience has been traumatic and little has been within my control—except for telling *my* story, educating others about the perspective of donor-conceived people, and advocating for genetic truth. This photo shows me (right) and my paternal biological grandmother (left), who I never met and who never knew I existed.

I want people to understand that and that donor conception implicates .

So many recipient parents are really worried about whether their child will upset when they talk about being donor conceived, and how to support them through it. What should they say?

Be the chocolate lab 🐕‍🦺🐾

It helps me to think of myself as my child’s support animal. It doesn’t berate or problem solve. It just shows up and sits with the child through their big feelings

Such an interesting story!

Ever wondered who was the first baby born through surrogacy in Australia?

Alice Clarke (nee Kirkman) in 1988. Alice is a freelance journalist and has been a voice for surrogacy over the years, including speaking at surrogacy conferences. Alice was carried by her aunty, Linda, who is her mum's sister. Her parents are Maggie and Sev.

Family-building often comes with many feelings - and so can being donor-conceived.

Anger, gratitude, curiosity, excitement, indifference, connection, and grief may all come to visit us at different times, or all at once.

There's no deadline for processing it all or arriving emotionally at one place.

DCP, remember to give yourself grace and space during your journeys. 👥
