Support for the person behind the gift.
The journey of a queer donor is unique and often goes unrecognised. This is a space dedicated to your experience—the questions, the emotions, and the stories. Here, you are the focus.
Donor Journeys
The Path of Egg Donation
Navigating the physical and emotional complexities of egg donation, from hormone cycles to the profound questions about genetic connection and future relationships.
The Experience of Sperm Donation
Exploring the personal side of sperm donation, whether to friends or a clinic, and the unique feelings around identity, anonymity, and the meaning of family.
The Journey of Surrogacy
Understanding the deep commitment and intense emotional experience of carrying a pregnancy for someone else, and navigating the relationships involved with care.
Who's behind this?
This project was founded by William Smith (he/him), a therapist with both a professional and personal interest in the topic of queer donation.
He started this project after noticing a clear gap in support: while recipients are often the focus, the complex emotional journeys of donors themselves are frequently overlooked.
Will is currently producing research and guidance for therapists and individuals affected by queer sperm donation, and this website is an essential part of that work. His main therapy practice, where he offers one-to-one sessions, can be found at therapyhub.eu.
