Together we can bring awareness to the issues of anonymous (non-identified) gamete donation creates such as lack of access to identity topics, siblings, family health history, and so much more.
When we “Race To End Anonymous Donation”, we race toward a world that gives donor conceived people the choice and ability to access important information instead of being “Made To Wonder”
Proceeds split between Donor Conceived Community and the U.S. Donor Conceived Council— two 501 (c)(3) nonprofits dedicated to creating positive change for donor conceived families.
Registration is open for our first book group for former sperm donors. STARTS Sunday, Aug 6th for 6 weeks via zoom to discuss “Donors: Curious Connections In Donor Conception” by @PetraNordqvist & @Leahgilman84
For the well-being of this community, we ALL need access to support
U.S. Donor Conceived Council was honored to present about the needs and interests of donor conceived people alongside our fellow advocates from Donor Conceived Community and Donor Conceived Australia at a meeting of stakeholders in Los Angeles, California, on October 20-21.

Our main #MadeToWonder meetup is in Anaheim, CA. Why? Because it’s also the home of this year’s ASRM Conference, which DCP are routinely excluded from
They have a long track record of opposing DCP-centered changes, despite the fact that they represent the industry creating us
