United States Donor Conceived Counsel USDCC Stakeholder Meeting
Oct 21-22, 2022
Los Angles, California
I’ll be focusing on the Intended Parent and then the Donor I’d like to start off by telling you about a conversation I had with a women on Monday is who married to a woman, and they have 2 children with the eggs of her wife and a sperm donor. The person I spoke with was donor conceived and when she thought about expanding the family with her own DNA she decided against it, because of concerns over the potential size and scope of those that might be tied to the birth of her children.
I am working with a 22 y/o women who is part of a close knit Sephardic community. She explained that most people who marry are related in some way. All take blood test prior to marrying. Family is central. Most get married young and start having babies young. Due to their religious affiliation many access the same banks.
These are just two stories that impact the everyday life of an intended parent.
