Description
Talking With Children About Their Biological Origins

Facilitated by Jonathan Pannor, LCSW and Alice Ruby, Executive Director of The Sperm Bank of California

Women who conceived with donor sperm or eggs often need help strategizing about how to help their children understand their biological origins. We will address developmentally appropriate language that can help children of all ages integrate knowledge of the donor side of their origins while strengthening their life-long bond with their lesbian parent(s). We will also discuss donor siblings and how to negotiate these relationships and different strategies for children with known and unknown
donors.

For free childcare, contact Julia at julia@ourfamily.org or 415.981.1960. Dinner will be provided.
