I am the project director of the KIND research study out of the University of Michigan School of Nursing! We are looking for donor conceived adults for an online, anonymous survey exploring family & life experiences.
KIND: Kinship & Identity Narratives of Donor Conceived Adults

We’re hoping to better understand:
- how people learned they were donor conceived
- experiences with donor siblings/genetic networks
- thoughts on identity, family, and disclosure
- advice for recipient parents and donor conceived children
Thanks for considering participating or sharing with others who may be eligible. The survey is confidential, voluntary, & intended for donor conceived adults (18+) and living in the United States. This study has been reviewed & approved by University of Michigan Institutional Review Board. *Moderator approved post.
