“I became so interested in the way that DNA databases have unintentionally exposed this phenomenon of donor conceived babies after reading “Inheritance” by Dani Shapiro. This podcast is so well researched, not only with regard to Matt’s personal family history, but also relating to the origins of...”Read full review »

“Thank you for sharing your story, I could not stop listening. I am happy you found family in the process. My mother was from Ireland and came to the USA with her first husband-James McNally, in about 1958-60! Small world.”

“As a person that has also been on a hunt to find pieces of the past, and assemble those pieces into a coherent narrative, this has been an excellent listen.
I cannot understand how people in the medical industry could play with so many lives so cavalierly.
My story is different, but in my...”Read full review »

“I'm loving your story. I have half siblings. My story is different but also a fun but much shorter tail. Helena and Tara are cracking me up in chapter 4 and i'm pretty sure we're spirit sisters (unfortunately my father isn't Irish). Excitedly listening to hear the rest. Thanks!”Read full review »

Matt addresses the medical ethics as well, don’t want to say too much about that or the rest of his family and give...”Read full review »

What the doctors did is not that surprising. Some people experience cognitive dissonance, like the doctor...”Read full review »

“He lost me when he said “where are you from - I’m Jewish. Since when did that become an answer to one’s location of birth? It’s like someone else saying where are you from - I’m Christian or Muslim or Hindu or Buddhist””

“The journey to find truth was such a noble one, but neurosis and primal wounds by an absent presumed bio dad turns into obsession of finding a Dad. Even after he finds the truth he tries to turn a sperm donor into a Daddy. I was annoyed by how he calls the literal sperm donor his “Father”. His...”Read full review »
