I came to this podcast in 2026 and have been binging it. Louise provides such interesting information donor conception through her own experiences, the experiences of others and facts.

I’m so grateful for this show. It feels like my only real resource as someone who recently learnt they were DC and it’s fascinating to hear about all the different permutations of learning that news, of family set ups (social and bio) and everyone’s individual thoughts on their situation.
Thank you so much
As the parent of donor conceived children I so appreciate donor conceived adults sharing their experiences. Louise does this so eloquently. Really great podcast thank you!
Thank you Louise and all your guests for being so generous in sharing your journeys and experiences and reflections. It helps me to support those in my life who are donor-conceived or thinking about using DC to create their families.

You don’t mention though Donor Conception Network who have been helping parents and people trying for 30 years. I’ve been a member and volunteer and I recommend people look at their website. They have been advocates of telling and offer incredible support for parents. Also there is more to be told about the coun... more
