Choosing a donor is one of the most important decisions on your path to parenthood. But the options—known, identity-release, anonymous—can be confusing, especially across different countries.
In this 30-min free webinar, we’ll break down the key differences and help you understand how to choose the best fit for your values, future child, and family dynamic.
Why Attend
If you’re considering egg/sperm/embryo donation, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by choices you didn’t even know you’d have to make. Should your child be able to contact their donor someday? Should you meet the donor now—or not at all? These aren’t just legal or medical decisions—they’re deeply personal ones that can shape your family’s future. This webinar is here to help you understand the options in a clear, supportive way so you can make the choice that truly fits your values, your journey, and your child.
