Welcome to the Donor Conception Network

We are a self-help network of over 1,000 families created with the help of donated eggs, sperm or embryos; couples and individuals seeking to found a family this way; and adults conceived using a donor.

You can contact us via email
‘phone (44) 0208 245 4369
or write to PO Box 7471, Nottingham NG3 6ZR

Our main aim

is to support and guide would-be and current parents in the issues they face about how to be open with children about donor conception, thereby avoiding damaging secrets.

Our experience

is that these questions arise throughout the upbringing of donor conceived children and at different stages in their lives. We have supported the ending of anonymous donor conception, as a further step to reduce the withholding of secrets from donor conceived people.

We welcome

to this site couples and individuals who are facing issues about donor conception at any stage, and would like to hear the experiences of those of us who have been there before.
