As I get ready to launch Season 20 of The Queer Family Podcast this September(!), I’m sharing a few guest appearances that I think deserve a spot in this feed. This week, I joined Dr. Kelsey Duncan on The Fertility Confidence Podcast to talk candidly about queer fertility, intentional parenthood, donor selection, and the legal complexities that queer families face. If you're navigating the path to parenthood—or supporting someone who is—this one's for you.
Fertility, Donor Sperm, and Queer Parenthood with Jaimie Kelton
In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, Jaimie Kelton—host of The Queer Family Podcast—joins Dr. Kelsey Duncan to share her personal journey through unexplained infertility and the many layers of queer family building.
Together, they explore:
- How Jaimie and her wife navigated donor sperm selection (and why she calls it the “search for the superhuman”)
- The emotional and financial realities of fertility treatment as a queer couple
- The importance of telling your kids the truth about their origin stories from the start
- What straight couples can learn from queer family-building journeys
- Legal hurdles many LGBTQIA+ families face—including second-parent adoption
- Why representation, community, and candid conversations are essential to this process
This episode is a deep, honest look at what it really takes to build a family when the world hasn’t designed a straightforward path for you—and how beauty can still be found in the twists and turns.
