ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the experience of Brazilian lesbian couples seeking to form a family by way of donor conception, and explores the transnational dimensions of gamete donation and participants’ discourses of kinship. The study reveals that these parenthood practices are equally a product of the different institutional and cultural possibilities of reproduction that are shaped as co-producers of these family forms. The couples had a strong preference to biogenetically implicate both partners by using the egg of one of the partners to be gestated by the other partner, which raises new questions regarding access, kinship, policy, commodities and reproductive rights.
