A Donor-Conceived Adult’s Advice to Parents | Surrogacy, Adoption & Identity

In this episode of @KPBpresents, I speak with Alex, a donor-conceived adult who shares his personal story about identity, family, and growing up knowing he was conceived using a donor. Alex talks openly about: • What it means to be donor conceived • How his mum first told him about his origins • The importance of honesty and communication in families • Advice for parents using sperm donors, egg donors or surrogacy • What he would say to a struggling donor conceived child • How families can avoid an identity crisis for donor-conceived children This conversation is aimed primarily at the surrogacy community, but it is also valuable for adoptive parents, intended parents, fertility patients, and anyone considering donor conception. If you are thinking about using a sperm donor, egg donor, surrogate, or adoption, Alex’s perspective offers thoughtful insight into how openness and honesty can shape a child’s sense of identity. Topics discussed include donor conception, family identity, telling children about their origins, adoption, surrogacy journeys, and parenting with transparency.
