About this episode

Sperm donation. Yeah, it has a connotation. You might have a movie scene in your mind and certain way you feel about it in general. But here at Confessions, we gotta talk about all sides of fertility and family building.Daniel Bayen's mother wanted to start her own family solo, no partner. And that meant she'd had to go through fertility treatments with a sperm donor. Enter (into the world) Daniel and his little brother.Now, Daniel, 26, is an open sperm donor himself ("open" meaning his name is not withheld in records). He takes it so seriously, it's his entire career. He talks about his views on the whole process, how involved he is/isn't with his recipients, how he feels about a lot of topics like traditional sperm banks and other donors who don't seem to take it as seriously, and what it's like to have biological children all around the world.To get in touch wtih Daniel:Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/donordan/?hl=enOpen Donor Association: https://www.opendonorassociation.comPorfolio: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Nype82eEEZkp0aJDMDHRkjS5VxSullwp/view?pli=1To get in touch with Ashlyne: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashlynehuffblue/ https://www.instagram.com/confessionsofaslowcooker/ Website: https://www.confessionsofaslowcooker.com Email: ashlyne@confessionsofaslowcooker.com This audio and video podcast was produced, edited, and distributed by Small Batch Sound. https://www.smallbatchsound.com
