Nothing to Fix: Embracing Your Donor-Conceived Family

A powerful and reassuring session focused on helping parents to embrace parenthood through donor conception. Together, we will explore how to move beyond fear or guilt and celebrate the unique and intentional way our families were created. This session is about confidence, re-framing, and putting your child’s well-being and identity at the centre of the conversation.
