"You have a Donor--Not a Dad/Mom": Addressing the challenges of donor conception with clients on both ends
No CEs Offered
Program Description:
A person’s origins contribute to their identity across the lifespan. When parents are unable to use their own gametes (sperm or eggs), technology exists for them to conceive using a donor. How this information is shared with a donor-conceived person can be indicative of how the person accepts this aspect of one’s self.
