Donor-Conceived Adults Experience Disclosure in France – RBMO
Reproductive BioMedicine Online (RBMO) shared a post on LinkedIn:
“This new study provides important insights into disclosure processes in donor-conceived families, particularly in heterosexual contexts.
In France, it offers valuable data for MAR professionals (clinical physicians, biologists, psychologists, counsellors and social workers), who are now required to encourage the creation of environments conducive to sharing information with donor-conceived children about their conception. Although the effects of the 2021 reform of the bioethics laws cannot yet be assessed, particularly how lesbian couples and solo mothers by choice will approach disclosure, the knowledge of pre-reform experiences and attitudes remains crucial; professionals may still encounter parents who have not yet disclosed, or donor-conceived individuals discovering the facts of their conception as adults.
The findings from this study can, therefore, help MAR professionals improve their practices and provide better support to families using donor gametes.
Published open access, the paper can be read in full for free from our April issue, now.”
