In todays episode, the last in series 10, I speak to 21 year old Skyler.
Skyler and her twin brother were conceived using egg and sperm donation and raised by their mum in a solo parent family.
Skyler shares her experiences and thoughts about being donor conceived
In todays episode we cover:
- The things we do when we want to fit in as a child
- Growing up being the only solo parent family in the area
- When something happens to your only parent that prevents them for caring for you as they would have liked
- Finding your own male role models
- Whether solo parenthood through donor conception is a selfish decision
- Ways you can struggle growing up without a father
- The importance of honest communication
- What language to use with our children
....and much more!
