The Myth Of Donor Family Limits: What Parents Really Need To Know
Episode 155
Sunday, 7 December, 2025
If you’ve been reassured that your donor will only create a “small number” of families, or even that they’re effectively “just for you,” this episode is important. In this conversation, I unpack: – What clinics and banks usually mean when they talk about “family limits” – Why those limits often don’t work the way intended in real life – How donor siblings can appear over time, even when you were told the donor wouldn’t donate again – Why spending a fortune trying to secure an “exclusive” donor is rarely the best way to protect your child – What is in your control: planning to tell your child about their donor conception so they understand there may be donor siblings now or in the future I also talk about openness: when having more access to a donor can be helpful for medical or emotional reasons, and why it’s still possible to raise a healthy, secure child with a non‑open donor. The goal is to replace scary myths with realistic expectations and practical steps you can take as a parent. If this brought up questions for you, there are two free workshops that can help: Choosing a Donor: What Clinics & Websites Don’t Teach You – for people still in the donor decision or selection process Talking To Your Donor‑Conceived Child: Where & How To Begin – for parents thinking about how to start these conversations You can see dates and register for both at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1976369301784?aff=oddtdtcreator, or via the links in the show notes. #donorconception #donoreggs #donorsperm #donorsiblings #familylimits #thirdpartyreproduction #fertilitytreatment #fertilitysupport #fertilitypodcast
