They're coming out of the woodwork!

More and more donor conceived people are coming forward with similar feelings as myself and others who are "Not Happy John" with their DC status.

This new blog looks just great!

Donated Generation


Keep on coming DC people, we know you are out there and wanting to speak up too! We can make a difference.

Rel -

When I posted about Donated Generation today on my blog I noted that I know of no blogs by American born or based DC people. Do you know of any? So far the only ones I am generally familiar with are from your home country. I will check your links to see if I missed anybody.

Regards, Eric

Hi Eric,

Yes, there is "Whose Daughter" in the states, who i have linked on my page. She has been linked to me since i started my blog, i thought you might have seen her page by now.

I am sure there will be more to come, don't worry about that! :)

Hi Miffy,
I just read your comment and was really pleased to hear that there is another donor conceived person out here in blog land. It's wonderful to hear that your father was so understanding. I think that it's so important that we are able to express ourselves openly with our parents and they understand the complexities of our situation without becoming defensive. Would you ever consider writing about your experience/feelings regarding your donor conception on your blog? I know it is emotional so I'd understand if you didn't want to discuss it but we are always interested in finding new DCP to link to....PS. Do you belong to the PCVAI yahoo group (closed group only for people conceived via artifical insemination)? There are many of us (DCP)there http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCVAI/

Big Howdy to you too Rel...hope all is well!

Hey Miffy!

Great to hear from you.

I like the sound of your illustration :)

It's great that your dad was empathetic about this issue. I think it must be so hard for dads of our generation, who were encouraged to keep the secret not only of our conception, but also of their infertility. It's only natural that when we say we want to meet our biological father's that they get protective of their place in our lives.... but it can be worked through, as long as they are willing to be open and journey with us.

Good stuff Myf :) xo

hello all,

I am a single woman trying to conceive via donor isnemination (identity release donor). I am so happy to find blogs by donor conceived children. Although I am not donor conceived, I didn't grow up with my father unfortunately. Therefore, I am sensitive to feedback from children conceived via AI. I do wish that more SMC's felt as I do.
