Ghosts of Boyfriends Past
Pete and the Donation Part 1
Season 5, Ep. 13
•
Our host Liz takes the hot seat this week… sort of. She’s actually sharing it with her good friend Pete (GREAT friend, actually). See, Liz has always wanted a baby and Pete has never wanted a baby. So when Liz decided she wanted to go down the single mum route, she called Pete.
This is part one of a two episode arc that explores what it’s like to be a sperm donor in Australia, what’s involved, and how Liz and Pete have navigated the world of known donor sperm donation.
