Ep. 287: Choosing an Egg Donor with Laura Watson

Today, HeHe is joined by fertility coach, Laura Watson, to explore the conversation of growing your family through donor eggs, how to navigate that decision making process and what that process looks like! Laura shares the various routes families can consider when trying to find a donor, how to discover agencies in your area and how to talk to your kids about being donor conceived. If you've been navigating this conversation in your own life and are feeling alone in the grief and big feelings that often accompany the decision to use donor eggs-- this is a must listen because Laura shares what that process was like for her. We will also dive into anonymous vs known donors, what to know about the legal contracts (your rights and your donor's rights) and the financial commitment involved!
