Description
This week, Stef Koza, also known as The Donor Conceived Queen, on Instagram, shares her difficult story. On our podcast we feature a lot of uplifting stories. This is not one of those stories, but it is a good story to tell because Stef shows us how secrets, untruths and the refusal to support a child can lead to significant pain.
Stef has had many traumatic experiences, including sexual assault, and yet she has managed to build a life for herself and her family. She now speaks out about assault, family struggles and donor conception disclosure issues.
As a child, Stef said she always knew she was donor conceived and yet her parents denied it for years. They were embarrassed and ashamed and were not able to be honest with Stef and were unable to put away their religious beliefs in order to have a relationship with their daughter.
Stef created her Instagram profile to share her truths and help others who were denied theirs. She shares all of this and more on this podcast.
