Hello!

We have assembled the following survey intended for donor conceived youth

and adults who have one or more LGBTQ identified parents. Over the years the

Donor Sibling Registry has gathered information from a myriad of families, but

we believe predominantly more heterosexual. We think the issues for LGBTQ

families are both similar and quite different. The results of this survey will be

used to both better understand and to begin to construct resources that are

designed to meet the needs of our families. Our goal is to provide an accurate

reflection of experiences and to assist families in having meaningful dialogue

related to the challenges specific to our community.

Please note that this survey tool was designed by members of the DSR who are

also identified as LGBTQ. Two are licensed therapists.

A NOTE TO PARENTS: This survey is designed for mature school aged youth and

above. Please review the questions to make sure that they are age appropriate

for your child. Some of the questions deal with potentially difficult topics for

families. Again, our goal is to understand our children’s experiences so that we

can design and provide better resources for families as we go forward.

If you only have one parent, please answer questions for Parent B (bio parent).

PLEASE NOTE: Many questions will allow more than one answer.

We appreciate your time (should take no more than 15 minutes). Thank you!

The Donor Sibling Registry
