The Donor Sibling Registry (DSR) is a network in which people conceived via sperm or egg donation can enter information about which donor they used, and get matched to their biological half-siblings and their donor. Over the past two decades, the DSR has grown from a small group of people looking to connect, to one of the foremost advocates for donor conceived people worldwide. I talk with co-founder Wendy Kramer about the founding of the organization, the issues the donor conceived community face, and the advocacy work the Registry does on behalf of donor conceived people.
