    Donor Conception: Beyond DNA and Trauma

    Лучшая цитата из Donor Conception: Beyond DNA and Trauma

    “

    The research consistently shows that having engaged, supportive parents matters more for long-term outcomes than the specific details of how you were conceived. The trauma isn't necessarily about having same-sex parents—it's about how conception stories are handled, whether there's early disclosure, and how families navigate curiosity about genetic origins.
