Donor conceived journalist Louise McLoughlin is back with Season 2 of her chart-topping podcast. In this episode, Louise catches up with some of the people from Season 1, and explores how we can take our own experiences of being donor conceived and use them to influence change. As Louise speaks to activists going down both new and traditional routes she asks, 'how do we make a difference in our own families, in the minds of strangers, or in our legal system?'

You look like me.
A podcast making sense of the life and families of donor conceived people.
From shady secrets to life changing discoveries, this is a place for our stories.
Since we last spoke, I have gained seven new siblings.
I was waiting to see if I.
Would get a response from the letter I sent to my donor and I never heard anything.
I sent another letter a few months later and I didn't hear anything.
I haven't had any contact with my biological family in the last year, but.
You know, I feel better about learning.
About who they are and their story.
Just this morning I discovered a new donor sibling.
It's all still a lot.
I got married and it was so wonderful because my bio mom came and I'm choking up because it meant so.
Much to me to have her.
There was something that I never really pictured being available to me ever.
In the meantime, I've continued to advocate for donor conceived people.
I've worked on legislation and I've just never ceased, you know, defending the rights of our community and the right to.
Know where we come from.
Welcome to season two of youf Look Like Me.
I'm Louise McLaughlin and I am a donor conceived journalist.
