I Chose My Donor Based On Their Race | MY EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY

BROOKE, 28, from the Gold Coast, Australia has five children; nine-year-old Edward, seven-year-old Gilbert, five-year-old Odette, two-year-old Nora and Mabel who is nine months old. Brooke told Truly: “I have always wanted a large family - I am one of seven siblings.” She conceived with her daughter, Nora, through a sperm donor, who she chose based on their race. Brooke said: “My first daughter, Odette, is half Japanese and that is why I chose to try and find an Asian donor when I was conceiving with Nora.” Brooke decided to start posting on TikTok to share her experiences as a parent and received a lot of backlash when she posted a video about how she chose a donor. “A lot of people say that I’m racist or that I have an Asian fetish because I have chosen an Asian donor.” She further explained: “The judgemental comments did make me feel a bit upset but I also know myself and know that I’m not racist or have an Asian fetish so had to remind myself of that.” Brooke has also faced judgement about having a lot of children, using a donor to conceive and her children all having different fathers but she wants people not to judge others on the ‘snippets’ they see of other people’s lives on social media. In this episode of My Extraordinary Family, Brooke will be updating her friend on the exciting plans she has to expand her family…
