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.

Walk/run/roll with us at the 2nd annual Made To Wonder in New Orleans on Sat. Oct 14th. Join in person, virtually or host a meet-up! Whether you’re a DCP, donor, parent, or ally - anyone who supports the end of anonymous donation is invited! runsignup.com/MadeToWonder

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.

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”

@JacobaBallard @AskingAmy @washingtonpost @dccouncilusa 👋🏻 @AskingAmy. We’re Donor Conceived Community, a US-based non-profit providing peer support for donor conceived folks. Happy to connect and share perspectives, including how your advise can cause harm to people in the community.

@AskingAmy @washingtonpost I really appreciate you responding and your willingness to listen to DCP. This eill be a series of responses. First, I want to say, I don’t think what you said was in malice. Also, the @dccsupport and @dccouncilusa have a lot of great information to help educate.

Really disappointed in the advice from @AskingAmy in @washingtonpost to the woman finding out she is donor conceived. So many are not educated on DCP’s issues. I would love an open discussion so you and others can become educated and not give ill advice to those suffering trauma.

We were Made to Wonder, but together we can bring awareness to the many issues anonymous gamete donation created - like identity trauma, disconnection from siblings, inherited health risks and so much more. #MadetoWonder #WeAreDonorConceived #notanonymous #MTW5k #donorconceived
