Wendy Kramer: Donor Conception — Open Dialogues and Ethical Choices | All Together #68

An alternate path to parenthood that has endowed families around the world, donor conception raises a multitude of questions about identity, genetics, and ethical considerations. This week on All Together: The Family Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella is joined by Wendy Karmer, the co-founder and director of the Donor Sibling Registry, to explore these questions and more.
Founded in 2000, Donor Sibling Registry was founded with Wendy Karmer’s donor-conceived son Ryan, to assist individuals conceived as a result of sperm, egg, or embryo donation, who are seeking to make mutually desired contact with others with whom they share genetic ties. With over 93,000 members in 105 countries, the DSR has helped connect more than 26,250 members with their half-siblings and/or biological parents. Wendy Karmer has listened to, advised, consulted, and researched thousands of these parents, donors, donor-conceived people, and other donor family members.
In this episode, Wendy Karmer asserts that the reproduction medicine industry is highly unregulated, with much information supplied by sperm banks or donor clinics being misinformation as part of marketing efforts to draw in more clients. She reveals that in the digital age, the ‘anonymity’ typically promised by such clinics is near-impossible to achieve, with social media platforms and DNA tests readily available for public consumption: Wendy Karmer cites her son Ryan as an example of a donor-conceived child being able to locate their biological parent all on their own.
Together, Wendy Karmer and Marie discuss the importance of open conversations in donor-conceived families, from when to disclose such information to a child, to various ways to normalize these conversations. So, whether or not you’re planning to embark on the route to donor conception, tune in for an incredibly eye-opening episode!

Krystal McLeod, J.D.: Rebuilding Lives After Domestic Violence | All Together #66

Domestic violence weighs heavily on those who have been affected, but healing, empowerment, and external support can shine a light at the end of the tunnel. So, this week on All Together: The Family Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella interviews Krystal McLeod, J.D., the executive director of NYU Center on Violence and Recovery, about what it takes to rebuild life—both pragmatically and emotionally—following domestic violence.
A practitioner and national advocate for using restorative approaches to address the root causes of violence and counteract the harms caused by the United States’ criminal legal system, Krystal McLeod, J.D. leads a multidisciplinary team deeply committed to reimagining their nation’s response to violence. 
In this episode, Krystal McLeod, J.D. reveals that domestic violence not only accounts for 15% of all crimes in the United States, but is also hugely underreported. She shares that, because domestic violence often leaves survivors feeling powerless, a major component of the recovery process is the need for a sense of autonomy and agency. 
Together, Marie and Krystal McLeod, J.D. discuss the various challenges in rebuilding life after trauma, as well as habits and practices that may prove useful in supporting the road to recovery. So, tune in to this episode for eye-opening insights on the complexities of domestic violence recovery.
