Finding Family

Finding Family
For an ever-increasing segment of our society; our donor-conceived population, fun little anecdotes like “whose eyes I have” or “whose flair for the dramatic I inherited” are only one-half possible.
Ryan Kramer is exceptional for a number of reasons. He graduated high school and entered college by the age of 14. This month, at age 18, he will be graduating from with an aerospace engineering degree from University of Colorado at Boulder. He was also conceived through the use of sperm donor. Donor-conceived children, whether through egg or sperm donation, generally enter this world having one half of their genetic identity concealed from them; unwitting parties to contracts and non-disclosures they never agreed to.
Ryan like many donor –conceived children developed an intense curiosity about his biological father. He was not willing to accept the standard answers contained within the donor’s profile information. What began with a child’s natural curiosity, through diligence, dedication and an incredibly supportive mom, has resulted in Ryan not only locating his biological father and 6 half-sibling sisters, but has given over 24,000 people the ability to potentially connect to their “other-halves” someday.
