About this episode

🇦🇺🇫🇷🇩🇪 This episode’s guests are Anna and Tanja, one is Australian and the other one is French. They have a little boy together and they live in Berlin. 

 

With Anna and Tanja we talked about:

  • Building a non-conventional and multicultural family
  • Choosing a biological donor and defining his role in transmission
  • The difficulty to transmit citizenship when you didn’t carry the child
  • Creating a precedent and actually changing the law
  • The burden of knowing that our decisions will shape our kid’s cultural identity


Happy blending! 🥣
