Episode 175 - Dr Sophie Zadeh and Nina Barnsley Talk with Dr Cassie Rhodes: Supporting Donor Conceived Children

In this conversation, Dr Sophie Zadeh, a researcher who
specialises in families formed through donor-assisted conception,
and Nina Barnsley, director of the Donor Conception Network, chat
about how best to support donor conceived children, both at home
and school. In the past, parents were often advised that it was
not necessary to tell children about using a donor. Today, we
know that open conversations are a positive thing from an early
age. Sophie talks us through the research evidence and Nina
outlines what she’s learned from many years of working with
families. Interested listeners will be pointed to some excellent
resources.
