Bonus Episode 17 - Interview with Kiara Schuh, author of "Chosen Family" and donor conceived daughter of an SMBC

Navigating Life as a Donor-Conceived Child, Meeting Siblings, and Finding Identity in a Solo Mum Household

In this bonus episode of 'No Need for Prince Charming,' we meet Kiara, a donor-conceived child raised by a solo mum by choice. Kiara opens up about her childhood, her close bond with her mother, and the unique experiences of meeting donor siblings and even connecting with her donor. Her journey is filled with love, resilience, and the power of family built on choice and intention. This conversation highlights the value of being open, building connections, and embracing all aspects of identity in a solo parent family.

Key Takeaways:

• Kiara’s experiences growing up with a solo mum by choice and how it shaped her.

• The process of finding and meeting her donor siblings and establishing those connections.

• Embracing her unique identity and family structure without traditional norms.

• Insights into the importance of transparency, family support, and building a “village” around donor-conceived children.
