How do #donorconceived adults with lesbian parents think about parenting their own kids? And what do the lesbian parents think about becoming grandparents? Recent results from the longest-running study of lesbian families shed light on these questions. https://mombian.com/2023/11/06/new-study-sheds-light-on-lesbian-grandparents-and-on-donor-conceived-peoples-parenting/

Whenever a #DonorConceived person is critical of the infertility industry, or donor anonymity, or some aspect of the fucked up way they were created, there's always some moustache twirling yahoo in the comments like, "Ergo, you wish that you never existed! I am very smart!"
#DonorConceived people refer to 6-8 wks post xmas as #SiblingSeason, because of all the DNA testing kits given as gifts. If someone you know is in for a surprise, tell them now before ancestry dot com does. #fertility #infertility #spermdonor #donorconception
Forgot to mention in the historic CO bill was a battle on the “donation”number. We pushed for 10, still too many, but there was push back not just from the industry, but politicos, and the compromise was…25. 25? How many 25 member sibling families do you know? #donorconceived
There’s a joke/not joke within the DCP community that dog breeders have more regulation than human breeders/the fertility industry.
It’s common for DCP to have 20, 50, sometimes 100 siblings that may or may not know their bio origins; which is fucked and can lead to possible situations like accidental rhymes with “infest.” (#ourfather).
And then a story like this drops.
Yep.

@Bkjax hi! I'm a #LateDiscovery #DNASurprise #DonorConceived person 👋
An introduction: Journalism & editing pay the bills but my ❤️ is in fiction & CNF. I created an online pub, Severancemag.com about #familysecrets and #DNAsurprises. I use social media to discover & discuss #writing #cnf #essays #memoir #fiction, to connect with #adoptees #NPEs #MPEs & #donorconceived people & to learn about #italian language/culture, #ItalianAmerican literature, #neurodiversity & #adhd. #introduction
Met 2 DC sibs in Des Moines. They are wonderful. What a wild ride. #donorconceived
From a #donorconceived comrade: What does it feel like being a DCP?
