Bookings are now open for the first dates in a series of workshops aimed at parents who have used donor eggs, sperm or embryos. The one-day courses are also open to anyone expecting a baby conceived using donor gametes.
The "Talking and Telling" workshops are organised by the Donor Conception Network, a self-help organisation for families created with the help of donor eggs, sperm or embryos and for those who are hoping to start a family this way. The network also supports adults who were conceived using donor gametes.
The workshops will look at how and when parents can tell children about their conception, and will also provide a valuable opportunity to get to know others in the same situation; whether other parents, or others who are expecting a child.
The first workshop is on May 10 in Oxford, followed by May 17 in Twickenham, June 7 in Amesbury, June 21 in Bristol and July 5 in Bloomsbury.
The Donor Conception Network is also planning some workshops to help those who are considering parenthood using donor eggs, sperm or embryos but the dates and locations have yet to be set for these.
