Take the COLAGE Donor Insemination Survey
COLAGE, a youth-driven national network of people with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer parents, is thrilled to announce the debut of the ART Project, a program to highlight the experiences of COLAGErs born through assisted reproductive technologies. Over the past 30 years the number of people born through these technologies to LGBTQ parents has steadily grown, yet let little, if any, work has been done to bring this community together or address the experiences of these youth and adults.
The first major effort of the ART Project is to conduct a national assessment of COLAGErs born through donor insemination. As part of this project, COLAGE is calling all youth born through donor insemination and their parents to take an online survey. In the upcoming months, COLAGE will be using all the great information we collect through these surveys to develop and debut new programs and resources giving COLAGErs born through DI tools to talk about their family, spark open dialogues within families and communities about donor insemination and equip both COLAGErs and parents to navigate schools and other institutions.
There are two surveys, one for COLAGErs born through donor insemination and one for their parents. Both the surveys will be available online between now and November 30th. Each survey will take between 15 and 20 minutes to complete. The links for both surveys can be found below. If you have any questions about surveys or the ART Project in general, please contact Jeff DeGroot, COLAGE Fellow at jeff@colage.org.
Thanks so much!
