[IUI #2] How I Chose My Donor as a POC Single Mom | Donor Search & Priorities

Описание: In this video, I share my experience choosing a sperm donor as a single mom by choice (SMBC), discussing my donor conception journey and how my identity as a POC shaped my priorities. I explain what I was looking for and what I wasn’t — especially how important it is for me to preserve cultural identity and connect my future child to a meaningful heritage.

I talk about my sperm donor selection process, including dealing with a donor sold out situation and having to pick a second choice donor. Personality similarities, donor health, and ethical considerations like never choosing an anonymous donor are key parts of my decision.
