We are delighted to share one of the most popular educational sessions we held during the Modern Family Show in September: ‘Same sex and solo parenting using donor sperm: Talking about the journey’.
This interactive Q & A session was hosted by Michele Gilling-Ulph (Clinical Care Coordinator and Operations Manager at The Agora Clinic) who was joined by four parents who have taken the donor sperm journey to parenthood:
- Laura-Rose Thorogood (Founder of LGBTQ+ Mummies Tribe and Lesbian mother of three children conceived through donor insemination and IVF),
- Lisa Smith (non-binary solo parent thought IVF and donor sperm) and
- Rebecca and Kelly Tindall (Lesbian couple and parents to Marley conceived through IVF and egg sharing).
The video highlights some of the many highs and lows as well as challenges faced by those who try to conceive using donor sperm.
