DONOR CHILD – A CHILD OF LOVE

Meet a child of love and a donor-conceived person. I share my story of being a donor child, how it has impacted my life, my parents’ involuntary childlessness, and how we have dealt with donor conception in my family.  Today, my parents have three children, all of whom have come into the world through fertility treatments. Our story is not unique. Many couples worldwide have difficulty having children and this means that up to every 10th child is born with the help of fertility treatments. I have invited leading Danish specialists to put my personal story in perspective with their knowledge of fertility treatment, choice of donor, relationships and family life.
