Terry Gross. Chrysta Bilton's mother is a lesbian and her father was a sperm donor. She writes about her unusual upbringing in Normal Family. Growing up in the s and '90s, Chrysta Bilton didn't know any other families like hers.


This author's 'Normal Family' includes a sperm donor dad and 35 siblings




Sperm donation is largely unregulated, but that could soon change as lawsuits multiply
But the pandemic spurred her to reprioritize: She moved back home to Santa Cruz, California to be closer to her mom, and the time indoors made her want to nest. All she needed was a sperm donor. So she looked into another option: Facebook groups that connect sperm donors and those seeking donations. She chose to have a natural insemination meaning sex, though Gordy and many other donors typically offer their sperm in a cup for artificial insemination, or they send it frozen in the mail.



Sperm Donation Information
Four years ago, my partner and I were sitting anxiously in a fertility doctor's office. We wanted to have a child and because we're both women, we needed a sperm donor. We got undeservedly lucky: Today our son is 3 years old and the in vitro fertilization process is far behind us. But, like other parents gay, straight, or single we're finding that sometimes the hard part of donor conception comes after the wild journey of donor selection, countless doctor visits, and the long-awaited birth day. Last year, the number of babies conceived through assisted reproduction technologies reached an estimated 5 million worldwide, making donor conception a mainstream medical issue.





To be a sperm donor you must be aged between and have sperm of exceptional quality. This is important because the sperm are stored by being frozen. Therefore, not all men will be suitable to be sperm donors. You must be in good health and not be a known carrier of any genetic or other medical condition s that could be harmful to any children born, and have a BMI below After the other appointments outlined above we will need you to come into the clinic to produce around semen samples for us to store.
