This reflected the medical norms and&nbsp;cultural values of the time.<br \/>\nOver the years, however, psychologists, counsellors, and&nbsp;family researchers began to challenge that&nbsp;approach. Today, there is a strong professional consensus \u2014 supported by both ESHRE (2024) and&nbsp;the American Society for&nbsp;Reproductive Medicine (ASRM, 2013) \u2014 that&nbsp;children benefit when&nbsp;they are told the truth about their conception in&nbsp;a thoughtful, age-appropriate way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why&nbsp;the change?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Laws in&nbsp;many countries now&nbsp;favour openness.<\/li>\n<li>Societal values have shifted, recognising that&nbsp;knowing one\u2019s origins is a basic human right.<\/li>\n<li>DNA testing is now&nbsp;easily accessible, making it more likely that&nbsp;children will discover genetic connections on&nbsp;their own.<\/li>\n<li>Research shows openness has no negative impact on&nbsp;family relationships \u2014 and&nbsp;can even&nbsp;strengthen them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>The Power of the Family Story<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Our identities are built on&nbsp;the stories we hear and&nbsp;tell about ourselves. Psychologists call this narrative identity \u2014 the inner story that&nbsp;gives our life meaning.<\/p>\n<p>For&nbsp;children, family stories about \u201chow we came to be\u201d play a key role in&nbsp;shaping this identity. It is through stories that&nbsp;family members understand themselves and&nbsp;their place in&nbsp;the family. Parents are the first narrators, and&nbsp;their words deeply influence how children see themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Such a storytelling emerges already at&nbsp;the age around 2 years old and&nbsp;keeps evolving, in&nbsp;the preschool years the storytelling self becomes more complex and&nbsp;effective and&nbsp;by the adolescence the storytelling self is already used to explain how different events are linked together in&nbsp;a person\u2019s biography. (<em>McAdams D. P. (2001). The psychology of life stories).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>That&nbsp;is why&nbsp;early, gentle conversations about donor conception can help weave this information into the fabric of a child\u2019s identity from the very start.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why&nbsp;Early Disclosure Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At&nbsp;the 2025 ESHRE Conference, Professor Vasanti Jadva, Family Psychology specialist at&nbsp;City St George\u2019s, University of London, shared findings from a long-term UK study that&nbsp;followed families over many years. One striking result stood out:<br \/>\nAdolescents who&nbsp;learned about their donor conception <strong>before&nbsp;the age of seven<\/strong> consistently reported stronger, healthier family relationships and&nbsp;greater overall well-being compared to those told later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>These young people tended to:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enjoy closer, more positive relationships with their parents<\/li>\n<li>Have parents who&nbsp;experienced lower levels of anxiety and&nbsp;depression<\/li>\n<li>Show higher psychological well-being and&nbsp;stronger family cohesion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These positive outcomes were also linked to warmer, more sensitive parenting and&nbsp;fewer conflicts within the family.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding one\u2019s heritage plays an important role in&nbsp;a child\u2019s growth. When&nbsp;children know their roots, it helps them to shape their sense of identity, strengthens their bonds with others, and&nbsp;supports emotional well-being \u2014 not just in&nbsp;childhood, but&nbsp;as&nbsp;they move through adolescence and&nbsp;into adulthood. It becomes a foundation they can return to throughout life.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w100p\" src=\"https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Picture1.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Slide from Professor Lone Schmidt\u2019s presentation at&nbsp;ESHRE 2025<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Alongside with Professor Vasanti Jadva, Professor Lone Schmidt, an expert in&nbsp;infertility and&nbsp;public health at&nbsp;the University of Copenhagen, explained that&nbsp;early conversations about donor conception can help children develop:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A deep sense of being wanted and&nbsp;loved<\/li>\n<li>Clarity that&nbsp;\u201cthe donor is not my mum or&nbsp;dad \u2014 my mum or&nbsp;dad is the person who&nbsp;raises me\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Emotional tools to process and&nbsp;understand their identity over time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When&nbsp;this information is shared later in&nbsp;life \u2014 particularly in&nbsp;adulthood \u2014 it can be more challenging. It may unsettle a person\u2019s established identity, create tension with parents, and&nbsp;spark an urgent need to learn more about the donor or&nbsp;find half-siblings. <br \/> In&nbsp;contrast, when&nbsp;children grow up knowing their story, their curiosity about the donor is often gentle and&nbsp;motivated by a wish to understand their medical history or&nbsp;to satisfy natural curiosity, rather&nbsp;than&nbsp;by a sense of loss or&nbsp;confusion.<\/p>\n<p>For&nbsp;many children \u2014 especially those told early \u2014 the priority is not finding the donor but&nbsp;having an open, honest, and&nbsp;age-appropriate space to ask questions, explore their feelings, and&nbsp;even imagine their own version of the story. This openness, grounded in&nbsp;love and&nbsp;trust, helps them carry their beginnings as&nbsp;a natural and&nbsp;accepted part of who&nbsp;they are.<\/p>\n<p>Important to note that&nbsp;these conversations are not conducted once&nbsp;and&nbsp;left behind. They evolve as&nbsp;the child grows, with new layers of meaning added along the way. Parents are not simply narrating \u2014 they are co-creating a living family story with their child.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why&nbsp;Telling Can Be Hard \u2014 and&nbsp;How to Make It Easier<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For&nbsp;many parents who&nbsp;know in&nbsp;their hearts that&nbsp;they <em>should<\/em> tell their child about their donor conception it might be very different from actually finding the words to begin. The first step can feel daunting \u2014 not because&nbsp;parents don\u2019t love or&nbsp;trust their children, but&nbsp;because&nbsp;the conversation touches deep, tender parts of their own journey to parenthood. It can stir up emotions that&nbsp;are sometimes difficult to face, even&nbsp;in&nbsp;the privacy of our own thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Astrid Indekeu, clinical psychologist, sexologist, and&nbsp;PhD in&nbsp;Biomedical Sciences, has worked closely with many families navigating this decision. She notes that&nbsp;the idea of disclosure often brings up in&nbsp;parents a complex mix of feelings, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Grief over infertility or&nbsp;the inability to conceive naturally<\/li>\n<li>Shame about not being able to have a child \u201cthe usual way\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Discomfort or&nbsp;uncertainty about the donor\u2019s role in&nbsp;the family story<\/li>\n<li>Fear of how the child \u2014 or&nbsp;others \u2014 might react<\/li>\n<li>Disagreements between partners about whether, when, or&nbsp;how to tell<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These emotions all stem from vulnerability, and&nbsp;vulnerability can make even&nbsp;the most loving parent want to put off the conversation. On&nbsp;top of this, other worries may creep in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A fear of rejection by the child<\/li>\n<li>Concern that&nbsp;this knowledge might weigh on&nbsp;the child or&nbsp;make life more complicated for&nbsp;them<\/li>\n<li>Feeling unsure about the \u201cright\u201d words to use, or&nbsp;how to respond to difficult questions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These fears can create a sense of incompetence adding to vulnerability and&nbsp;making the decision to tell feel like a heavy and&nbsp;complicated choice.<\/p>\n<p>The important thing to remember here is that&nbsp;these feelings are all normal \u2014 they are shared by many parents of donor-conceived children. You are not alone in&nbsp;them. With time, reflection, and&nbsp;support, they can be worked through, and&nbsp;you can prepare yourself for&nbsp;open and&nbsp;loving conversations with your child.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Steps That&nbsp;Can Help:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Acknowledge your own feelings first. If&nbsp;there are unresolved emotions about donor conception, take time to explore them. You don\u2019t need to \u201cfix\u201d everything before&nbsp;talking to your child \u2014 some feelings may surface again during conversations, and&nbsp;that\u2019s okay.<\/li>\n<li>Name your emotions. It\u2019s perfectly fine to admit you feel unsure, lost, or&nbsp;even afraid. Naming these feelings can lessen their hold on&nbsp;you.<\/li>\n<li>Seek connection with other parents. Group discussions, support networks, or&nbsp;online communities can be valuable. Hearing other parents\u2019 stories \u2014 especially from those who&nbsp;have already had the conversation \u2014 reminds you that&nbsp;you are not alone.<\/li>\n<li>Learn from shared experiences. Webinars, workshops, and&nbsp;in-person events can offer both emotional reassurance and&nbsp;practical tips.<\/li>\n<li>Give yourself time. There\u2019s no deadline, take the steps at&nbsp;a pace that&nbsp;feels manageable for&nbsp;you and&nbsp;your family.<\/li>\n<li>Prepare for&nbsp;natural consequences. Young children, especially toddlers, may tell the story to others at&nbsp;absolutely unpredictable time and&nbsp;circumstances. Anticipating this can help you feel more in&nbsp;control and&nbsp;ready to respond.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s important to understand that&nbsp;disclosure is not a one-size-fits-all situation. There is no perfect script that&nbsp;works for&nbsp;every family. What matters most is building trust and&nbsp;maintaining an ongoing dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTelling\u201d is not just about delivering information once&nbsp;\u2014 it\u2019s an intertwined process between several individuals &#8211; parents, child, donor. It\u2019s a conversation that&nbsp;evolves, sometimes in&nbsp;unexpected ways. It can be messy at&nbsp;times, because&nbsp;it\u2019s complex, but&nbsp;it also deepens the emotional connection between parent and&nbsp;child.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w100p\" src=\"https:\/\/olgafertilityclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Picture2.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Slide from Dr. Astrid Indekeu\u2019s presentation at&nbsp;ESHRE 2025<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When&nbsp;a parent shares the story of donor conception, they are not just revealing a fact about the child\u2019s origins \u2014 they are also sharing something deeply personal about their own path to parenthood, the dreams and&nbsp;challenges that&nbsp;led to the family\u2019s creation.<\/p>\n<p>And&nbsp;the story may not be just about the immediate family; it might also include the donor, a network of half-siblings, and&nbsp;a wider circle of people who&nbsp;are part of the child\u2019s unique beginning.<\/p>\n<p>In&nbsp;this way, telling is about building the big picture together \u2014 a family narrative that&nbsp;is honest, loving, and&nbsp;ever-evolving.
