“Paths To Parenthub is a vision I’ve held for a while now, which feels like a natural evolution from DefiningMum. I’ve always wanted to help fill the emotional support vacuum, something I believe is an essential step when embarking on fertility treatment using a donor.
This hub is everything I would have needed and wanted back when making the decision. Even now, as a mum of children conceived with the help of an egg donor I’m continually learning, accepting and growing as a parent, as I understand how best to support my children in the future.”
