Kyle’s perspective is fantastic! He shares his experiences being sperm donor conceived and raised by a single mom and we do a deep dive into several important topics around the topic, like, telling your child about their conception and avoiding the learned shame that a stigma can cause in family life.
Parents commonly tell me they want to wait to tell their child until they are teenagers but Kyle has advice for parents. (You’ll have to listen to hear it.) 😉
Kyle also explains how uncovering previously unknown genetic information added value to life and explored the reasons that tracking half-siblings are important. Listen to @threemakesbaby podcast on Apple podcast or your favorite podcast platform.
