Donor Dad

Author: Karamo Brown & Adam Saltzberg

Television Producer Adam Saltzberg shares the story he's never told publicly: in the early 2000s, while working as a casting associate on The Apprentice, he was also regularly visiting a cryobank - sometimes three times a week on his lunch breaks - as a sperm donor. At the time, it felt like a practical, even casual decision. But what seemed simple in his twenties would ripple forward in ways he never imagined. Years later, a message changed everything. A mother, after conducting a DNA test on her son through 23andMe, connected the dots and found him. That discovery opened the door to a Facebook group filled with parents raising his biological children. Now, Adam finds himself navigating a new identity: biological father to families he's never met, building relationships in real time, and confronting questions about responsibility, connection, and what family truly means. But there's one complication: he has yet to tell his own family. With Karamo Brown's signature empathy and insight, this series dives into modern parenthood, evolving definitions of family, and what happens when technology reshapes the past. This is a story about DNA, destiny, and the conversations we're sometimes most afraid to have.
