Non Donor Conceived (DC) offspring of Donors (also called Raised offspring) are the offspring of donors whom the donor raised, NOT the donor’s donor conceived offspring.

Non DC offspring are impacted by historical donor conception practices when they unexpectedly find out that they have donor conceived half siblings and can often be part of huge sibling pods.

Please keep in mind that if you are a Non DC offspring then you had the privilege of being raised by both of your biological parents. Your donor conceived siblings will not have had this privilege. Please be aware that for your DC siblings, there may be trauma implications around this.
