In todays episode I speak to Natasha Fox. Natasha is 29 and was raised by her mum in London and then later Scotland. Natasha's mum was the first single woman in Scotland to use donor conception to conceive. Natasha has always known she was donor conceived and openly shares her experiences in this episode.
In todays episode we cover:
- Using a homemade book to talk to our children about their conception
- The importance of being honest and open about our childrens conception
- The influence we have over how our children feel about their conception
- Emphasising who we have in our life without labels
- Natasha's thoughts about growing up without a father in her life
- Why curiosity about a donor is not a reflection on the quality of parenting
- The best time to find donor siblings
and much more....
