Veronica Englund, 38, a midwife based in NSW, has been on and off trying to conceive for the past 4 years. From exploring the Clinical Route, to then discovering Sperm Donation Australia, and then being sidetracked with participating in the hit TV series "Farmer Wants a Wife", then a relationship whilst navigating the outside noise of family, friends, and now, social media opinions.
In this episode, we discuss single donors, types of questions to ask, what she is looking for in a donor. We talk about Artificial Intelligence and how some clinics are suggesting that their donors use it to assist with creating their donor profile, and how this technology is also being seen on the general dating scene. Plus a whole lot more.For more information about this episode, to follow Veronica's socials and also a link to the two hot takes clip visit.

Episode 79: Following in My Donor's Footsteps
Daniel Bayen 24 an entrepreneur, floats between Germany where his mother lives and California where his donor lives in his 2nd marriage with a couple of younger half-siblings. He grew up with his younger brother raised by a single mother who used the California Cyros Bank. His mother was always honest with his conception. Therefore Daniel is one of the positively Donor Conceived People who can process this as a wonderful experience in life as opposed to those who were lied to and have trouble making the most of their situation from the lies and deceit they had to face.
Daniel is part of a growing trend of DCP, who are now following in their donor's footsteps and becoming donors themselves, unlike most people who come from a nuclear family and can't relate to the added bonuses of having such a bigger network (He currently knows of 30 half-siblings). For him the more the merrier and while he is happy with his 30 siblings he sees no harm if he was to have 100 to 500 siblings out there. This podcast shares his story and breaks down the stigmas.

Episode 78: When the Donor wants to become the Child's Owner
"Lilly" (Alias) in her 30s, joined Sperm Donation Australia in late December 2017, In January 2018 she conceived a child, except her donor was already sourced from a dating app. Her child is now 5 years old and everything was fine up until recently when the donor started displaying mental health issues, and threats were made in regards to wanting to access the child.
This was a difficult and deep podcast to be a part of, as I wanted to explore the story and look for potential warning signs, so future members could potentially identify if there are red flags to look out for, without "Lilly" feeling like it was an attack on her level of judgement. While this could happen to absolutely anyone men, who have no part in the donor community and who have no donor etiquette or other donor children to share a focus on, seem to have the higher risk. In this episode, we explore the scenarios, look into mental health and hope for a positive outcome for her from this situation.
