Telling your child about your donation - We welcome your feedback

If you are a sperm or egg donor, or considering becoming a donor, you may be thinking about how to share your decision with your own children or any you might have in the future. This leaflet gives you some ideas on when and how you might share your story… The 'National Donation Strategy Group' have created a draft leaflet and would welcome feedback from Pride Angel members. Deciding to become a donor shows that you are someone who is generous and altruistic. Your donation is a wonderful gift, enabling others to have the potential to become parents. If you donated in a UK clinic after the removal of anonymity in 2005, you may have considered the importance of any children born from your donation being able to access your identifying information should they wish, when they become adults. If you donated before anonymity was removed you may have thought about becoming an identifiable donor by re-registering. Contact the HFEA for more information about this. The leaflet covers information and questions about: Why tell your child about your donations? When to tell your child? How to tell your child? Potential questions your child might ask you? The leaflet also contains links for you to find out further information Read the full draft leaflet here Article: 28th May 2014 www.prideangel.com
