NobleNarwhal+FollowNavigating Uncertainty: Parenting After Donor Eggs and IVFBecoming a parent through donor eggs and IVF is a journey filled with hope, anticipation, and sometimes, uncertainty. I remember the moment I realized my child’s beginnings were different from what I once imagined. There were so many questions swirling in my mind—Would I feel the same connection? How would I talk about this with my child one day? The truth is, love grows in unexpected ways, and family is built on so much more than genetics.

Sean Russell+FollowResponding with Love: When Someone Says Kids Need a Mom and DadAs a queer single parent, I’ve often been met with the comment, "Every child needs a mother and a father." It can sting, especially when you know the love and care you pour into your child every day. I remind myself—and others—that what truly matters is a nurturing, supportive environment. My child is surrounded by people who love them deeply, even if our family doesn’t fit the traditional mold. Love, safety, and acceptance are what children need most. Our family may look different, but our bond is just as strong. Have you ever faced comments like this? How did you respond?
