Momentum and Possibilities

 Wow...the ball is rolling.  More and more people are advocating for DC/NPE/MPE people.  (Donor conception/not parent expected/misattributed parentage experience).  This is very exciting.  It has been such a Herculean effort to get people interested in what life is really like for people in these situations.

Some great websites:

* npecounseling.org

* donordeceived.org

https://www.facebook.com/RighToKnowUs/

Relevant podcasts:

* Everything's Relative

* Sex, Lies & the Truth

* Three Makes Baby

3rd Annual Michigan Psychological Association Health Psychology Symposium

* I will be presenting either a talk or a poster to explain the realities of donor conceived people and ethical issues of donor conceptions.

23andme is working on getting media attention in Michigan, in particular about my family DNA story.

Court cases  There are more people issuing court cases in their states, e.g. for fertility fraud.

The circumstances of donor conceived people have been intentionally kept in the dark for so long.  It is exhilarating to see all of the work people are doing to bring forward the realities of being donor conceived so that practices can become more ethical and take into consideration our needs and rights.
