@ishe what are #donorconceived and #notparentexpected? Just curious

@starkraving666 A donor conceived person is someone born of assisted reproductive technologies via the use of donated sperm or egg. You may have heard of IVF [invitro fertilization] or IUI [intrauterine insemination] which at times may involve the donation of sperm or egg by a third party.

Not Parent Expected refers to situations where one learns that their parent[s] aren't who they believed them to be. So... if I grow up calling my dad "Dad" and then one day, I learn that actually, my biological father is my mother's high school sweetheart whom I've never met & I've a whole other family I never knew and the man I've called "dad" my whole life is a biological | genetic stranger to me.
