S5; E10 Chatting to donor conceived Skyler who was raised by a solo mum

The Stork and I

In todays episode, the last in series 10, I speak to 21 year old Skyler.

Skyler and her twin brother were conceived using egg and sperm donation and raised by their mum in a solo parent family.

Skyler shares her experiences and thoughts about being donor conceived

In todays episode we cover:

- The things we do when we want to fit in as a child

- Growing up being the only solo parent family in the area

- When something happens to your only parent that prevents them for caring for you as they would have liked

- Finding your own male role models

- Whether solo parenthood through donor conception is a selfish decision

- Ways you can struggle growing up without a father

- The importance of honest communication

- What language to use with our children

....and much more!
