How family bonds affect donor-conceived teens’ identity journey (dcjournalclub.substack.com)

Donor Conception Journal Club founder Laura Runnels, has a public health background and personal connection to donor conception and describes her initiative as ‘a learning community dedicated to reviewing and discussing peer-reviewed research related to donor conception’.

This article was a summary of the findings of a survey among 100 donor conceived adolescents which explored the relationship between parental attachment and the integration of donor conception into their identity.

This was taken from a previous Friday Bulletin. The Bulletin is a round-up of all the stories that matter about donor conception, and is one of many benefits of DCN membership.
