Summary
I trained as a social worker and have worked in child protection, fostering, adoption and post-adoption services. As a parent to two children through donor conception, I joined Donor Conception Network (DCN) at its formation in 1993. I served as a Trustee for a number of years and have been DCN’s Workshop Manager since 2011, developing the content of a range of workshops for those considering donor conception (DC), parents of donor-conceived children and professionals working in the fertility field.
