Pride Month: How to Talk To Your Parents About Egg Donation

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:

Clarity

Make sure to be clear on your goals when bringing up the conversation. Let your parents know what you want from them, such as emotional or practical support, or just that you want them to know.

Practice

Prepare in advance, decide on what you want to share and practice how you want the conversation to go.

Honesty

Be honest and straightforward, let them know why you made the decision and what you need from them.

Research

Consider their 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.

Preparation

Be prepared for questions, your might have a lot of questions and you want to be prepared to answer them.
