Abstract

This leaflet explores an often-overlooked relationship: the connection between donors and their recipients, that is, the parent or parents of the child born from their donation. Many egg and sperm donors in our research felt an important connection with their recipients. Even donors who gave their eggs and sperm to recipients they had never met, could still feel a significant link with recipients.
