S5: E7 Being donor conceived and using donor conception to conceive

In todays episode I chat to Freya.  Freya is donor conceived and was raised by 2 mums. Then, her and her wife used donor sperm to conceive a daughter, so she has perspectives of both being donor conceived and also being a recipient parent.  **Warning: we discuss some characteristics of the sperm donor Freya used in the episode**   In this episode we cover:  - Feelings about being donor conceived - A good age to meet donor siblings - Finding your donor through DNA testing - How it feels to connect with your donor - What language feels comfortable - Considering using a known donor - The importance of constantly learning and much much more!   Connect with Freya:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unicorndcp   Thank you for listening to The Stork and I Podcast!
