Happy Pride Month! As June comes to a close, let’s revisit the topic of how to talk to your parents about egg donation. Egg donation can be such a wonderful way to give back to families in need, especially LGBTQ families. However, we understand that it can sometimes be an awkward topic to bring up to family and friends.
Here are some tips that might help:
When bringing up the conversation, be clear on your goals. Let your parents know what you want from them, such as emotional or practical support, or just that you want them to know.
It’s always helpful to prepare in advance – decide on what you want to share and practice how you want the conversation to go.
Be honest and straightforward – let your parents know why you made the decision and what you need from them.
Consider your parents’ concerns and educate yourself, inform them with what you research. It will make your parents feel more comfortable if they know you have already done the research.
Be prepared for questions – your parents might have a lot of questions and you want to be prepared to answer them.
