Description

Made to Wonder: Race to End Anonymous Donation 

 

Who: Donor-conceived people, parents, donors, professionals, family, friends and allies.

 

What:  Donor Conceived Community founded this annual event in 2022 to create the opportunity for people to connect, share their stories, and build solidarity for ending the practice of 'anonymous' gamete donation.

Anonymous gamete donation was the industry norm in the US for decades. Sperm and egg donors were told to donate anonymously. Parents were told not to tell. As a result, countless donor-conceived people don't have access to important information about their identity, family medical history, and genetic relatives. They were Made to Wonder. 

 

Together, we can make a future that supports the well-being of donor-conceived people! Join us!

 

When: October 19-20th

Option 1: Join us Sunday, Oct 20th at 9:30A at Sloan's Lake Park in DENVER, CO for our national meet-up.

Option 2: Join satellite locations in New York and LA. (Details provided with registration and "Made to Wonder" Facebook group.)

Option 3: Join us virtually on your own or with family/friends Oct 19-20th, whenever and wherever works for you!
