Save the date for our next live webinar, Talking to Kids About Embryo Donation. In this 90-minute informational session, the EM•POWER team will explore different ways to talk with children about embryo donation. We will share our family experiences and discuss tools and tips to support children as they develop their own unique narratives. Maya will start by talking about how embryo recipients can talk to their children about their unique beginnings, and Jen and Gina will cover talking to children of embryo donors. While this webinar is specific to families connected to embryo donation, it could also be a good support for any family created through donor conception. One note: Our webinars are designed to keep participant names and questions anonymous to other viewers.
This webinar is the third in a series of five. If you missed our first two webinars and are interested in checking them out, you can watch them here.
