for me i always wanted to find siblings, i can't explain it, because nobody else knows how we feel because they are not donor conceived, it's a big subject that i feel like is not spoken about enough. i'm not the only one that feels like this. �* ,. ., ., , this. i've discovered i was donor conceived - this. i've discovered i was donor conceived in - this. i've discovered i was l donor conceived in february this. i've discovered i was - donor conceived in february of 2021 at age 39. i donor conceived in february of 2021 at age 39.— 2021 at age 39. i found out when i 2021 at age 39. i found out when i was _ 2021 at age 39. i found out when i was about - 2021 at age 39. i found out when i was about 15. - 2021 at age 39. i found out when i was about 15. i - when i was about 15. i found out i when i was about 15. i found out i was — when i was about 15. i found out i was donor _ when i was about 15. i found out i was donor conceived i when i was about 15. i found . out i was donor conceived when i out i was donor conceived when i was _ out i was donor conceived when i was about_ out i was donor conceived when i was about 13 _ out i was donor conceived when i was about 13 years _ out i was donor conceived when i was about 13 years old. - out i was donor conceived when i was about 13 years old. i - i was about 13 years old. think there is a stigma i was about 13 years old._ think there is a stigma around being donor conceived, and i think a lot of that is to do with the secrecy.— think a lot of that is to do with the secrecy. we're not supposed _ with the secrecy. we're not supposed to _ with the secrecy. we're not supposed to want - with the secrecy. we're not supposed to want to - with the secrecy. we're not supposed to want to know. with the secrecy. we're not. supposed to want to know who the donor_ supposed to want to know who the donor is and where we come from _ the donor is and where we come from and — the donor is and where we come from and our biological family on donor's side. i from and our biological family on donor's side.— from and our biological family on donor's side. i think people are very well-meaning, - on donor's side. i think people are very well-meaning, but i on donor's side. i think people l are very well-meaning, but they are very well—meaning, but they would say things like it doesn't really matter, your dad is still your dad, and inside i was feeling like 0k... is still your dad, and inside i was feeling like ok... i actually do have some pretty big feelings here... 50 actually do have some pretty big feelings here. . ._ actually do have some pretty big feelings here... so what is donor conception _ big feelings here... so what is donor conception and - big feelings here... so what is donor conception and how - big feelings here... so what is| donor conception and how does it work? there are different rules around the world but in the uk, well, let me explain... lots of people need to have to have children, sometimes it's because they have fertility problems, but sometimes it's because they are single or in same—sex relationships. here is where sperm and egg donors come in. for men, donating sperm is a straightforward process, but for women, a straightforward process, but forwomen, it's a straightforward process, but for women, it's a little bit more complicated. it involves hormone treatments and an operation. donated eggs and sperm are then stored for up to ten years in labs around the country. people hoping to be parents can look through information on the donors to decide which characteristics they want their babies to have. hi, i'm vicki, and we had a baby two years ago through donor sperm.— baby two years ago through donor sperm. hello, i'm sean, i'm a donor sperm. hello, i'm sean, m a male _ donor sperm. hello, i'm sean, i'm a male fertility _ donor sperm. hello, i'm sean, i'm a male fertility coach, - donor sperm. hello, i'm sean, i'm a male fertility coach, and| i'm a male fertility coach, and i'm a male fertility coach, and i'm the — i'm a male fertility coach, and i'm the father of twins conceived by donor sperm. what was an important _ conceived by donor sperm. what was an important criteria - conceived by donor sperm. what was an important criteria was the donor_ was an important criteria was the donor would _ was an important criteria was the donor would be _ was an important criteria was the donor would be brown i the donor would be brown haired, _ the donor would be brown haired, blue—eyed - the donor would be brown haired, blue—eyed and - the donor would be brown| haired, blue—eyed and like lucx — haired, blue-eyed and like lu . ~ . haired, blue-eyed and like lu . . , ., , haired, blue-eyed and like lu .~ . , ., , ., haired, blue-eyed and like lu. . lucy. which shows that person, we didn't know _ lucy. which shows that person, we didn't know anybody - lucy. which shows that person, we didn't know anybody about | we didn't know anybody about them, it was a blank canvas, we did not want to expect anything about children.— about children. people using donor conception _ about children. people using donor conception i _ about children. people using donor conception i helped i about children. people using | donor conception i helped my fertility doctors like eddie. that has been a definite movement in the demographics of people coming forward. first of all we got same—sex couples coming forward, and in the last decade or so we are having lots of single weapon, but interestingly over the past couple of years, we started having single men coming forward. , ., :: ' , ., forward. figures for 2021 show around three _ forward. figures for 2021 show around three and _ forward. figures for 2021 show around three and a _ forward. figures for 2021 show around three and a half- around three and a half thousand patients in the uk used donor insemination, and that's only through the official roots, and because of a change in uk law, from october of 2023, donor conceived children turning 18 have the right to know the identity of the donor for the very first time. in identity of the donor for the very first time.— very first time. in the past, the whole _ very first time. in the past, the whole idea _ very first time. in the past, the whole idea of— very first time. in the past, the whole idea of donation | very first time. in the past, - the whole idea of donation was help somebody else but you don't need to be involved, you can walk off into the sunset, and so i think it was a good thing, it was important that people are able to get that information. you do it when you choose, they can choose not to make contact, they can choose not to find out if they wish to but at least they have the option. i but at least they have the 0 tion. ., , but at least they have the otion. .,, ,., but at least they have the otion. , ., :::: option. i was born before 2005 so i option. i was born before 2005 so i don't _ option. i was born before 2005 so i don't have _ option. i was born before 2005 so i don't have the _ option. i was born before 2005 so i don't have the right - option. i was born before 2005 so i don't have the right to - so i don't have the right to know who my donor was. but i am off to meet a brother and sister who do. hello, are you 0k?
