Tips for communicating with your donor conceived child

  • Start the conversation when they are very little
  • Talk to them about their story often – it is not a ‘once and done’
  • The language you use will develop as they develop
  • Donor conceived people tell us it’s important that you refer to the donor as my/our donor not your donor – see our blog on ‘What to call the donor. When they are older, your child will decide what they want to call their parent’s donor.
  • We recommend you join groups on social media that include donor conceived adults and follow hashtags like #donorconceived - they give an insight into what your child may experience.
