You Look Like Me A podcast making sense of the life and families of donor conceived people.
This is my story and it's also a place for yours at the end of the day.
Like, I have a dad, so I'm not out here looking for a father figure.
I'm looking for answers to questions I have.
He tells us.
I don't want you to expect anything from me because I'm not going to just be your dad all of a sudden.
If you want to get to know me, that's no problem.
Just don't expect anything out of it.
I'm starting to see my bio mom as a mom.
I lost my mum when I was younger, but having met my biological father now, it doesn't necessarily fill that gap because I don't think it needs to.
Let's not sass around here.
I look just like him.
He's not interested in connecting with me.
I'm his biological daughter.
It's a very, very lonely grief that donor conceived people go through that I think most people can't even understand.
Welcome to youo Look like me.
I'm Louise McLachlan and I've spent 16 years, more than half of my life, looking for my biological father.
We should probably get out so that we can actually see him.
And this is me about to meet him alongside my half sister, Jess.
Oh God.
