Today is about the duality of being BOTH donor conceived AND being a recipient parent. There are challenges to navigate in both stories and Hayley is here today to share with us her story of both being donor conceived and being a recipient parent. She has an especially unique perspective because of this. We talk about how she came to know that she was donor conceived and some of her insecurities with being a recipient parent and the non-genetic parent.
There's lots to unravlel, so I hope you'll join us!
