Episode 91: Fraudulent Insemination - Maia Emmons-Boring
Maia Emmons-Boring was interested in her family’s genealogy and, like millions of others, took an at home DNA test to learn more. Initially, her results did not appear surprising. However, about 6 months later, at a New Year’s Eve party she received a message from Ancestry.com that an unknown sibling was trying to contact her. That message would open a Pandora’s box that she never imagined.
Maia grew up with two younger sisters and wonderful parents. She was born in Colorado but raised in Southern California. Eleven years ago, she left California for Texas. She is married to her high school sweetheart and has four children.
Over the last year and a half, after finding out she was donor-conceived -- and more shockingly, that her mother’s fertility doctor was the “donor” – she has become a fertility fraud activist. She worked with lawmakers in Colorado to successfully pass a fertility fraud bill. She plans on continuing to work with lawmakers in various states and at the federal level to change laws to better protect victims.
