"Lilly" (Alias) in her 30s, joined Sperm Donation Australia in late December 2017, In January 2018 she conceived a child, except her donor was already sourced from a dating app. Her child is now 5 years old and everything was fine up until recently when the donor started displaying mental health issues, and threats were made in regards to wanting to access the child.

This was a difficult and deep podcast to be a part of, as I wanted to explore the story and look for potential warning signs, so future members could potentially identify if there are red flags to look out for, without "Lilly" feeling like it was an attack on her level of judgement. While this could happen to absolutely anyone men, who have no part in the donor community and who have no donor etiquette or other donor children to share a focus on, seem to have the higher risk. In this episode, we explore the scenarios, look into mental health and hope for a positive outcome for her from this situation.
