I’m a grown-up IVF baby – here’s what I want IVF parents to know

Loren was born in 1994, she was one of the first babies in Australia conceived through embryo donation and IVF, she has an important message all IVF parents need to hear.

One night, when I was thirteen, my parents sat me down. Being the kind of child I was, I assumed I was in trouble. They both looked serious, but it was my mother who looked like she had the weight of the world on her shoulders. In the months prior she had been providing me with books and one on one chats about reproduction. Now, in retrospect, realise it was to prepare me for this moment.
