Counselling
Counsellors specialising in issues related to donor conception are available for private consultation. It may also help to talk to others who are also donor-conceived or to close friends and family members. Assisted reproductive treatment clinics routinely provide counselling for individuals and couples considering donor treatment and may provide counselling to past patients.
