    Indirect Strategies for Disclosing the Genetic/Gestational Origins of Children Conceived by Means of Reproductive Donation (Spain
    (Univerisity of Toronto Press, 2021-04-16) Jociles, María Isabel; Lores, Fernando; Konvalinka, Nancy Anne
    This article is based on ethnographic research carried out in Spain, with families who have conceived their children using third-party intervention. It focuses on an aspect of these parents’ strategies regarding disclosure (or non-disclosure) of their children’s origins which has received very little attention in the research in this field: the indirect strategies implemented in contexts beyond the parents-children dyad. The parents use these strategies to establish an environment in which the child can create an image of her- or himself as normal and non-exceptional, for which they intervene in their social networks mainly by controlling the information circulating through them and that, therefore, can reach the child. Three main contexts in which the parents implement these strategies have been identified: the extended family, the school, and family associations. The analysis of disclosure (or non-disclosure) strategies in these contexts provides some suggestions to improve professional intervention in this area.

    Eggonomics: Vitrification and bioeconomies of egg donation in the United States and Spain
    (WILEY, 2023-09-01) Tober, Diane; Pavone, Vincenzo; Lafuente Funes, Sara; Konvalinka, Nancy Anne
    Regulations governing assisted reproduction control the degree to which gamete donation is legal and how people providing genetic material are selected and compensated. The United States and Spain are both global leaders in fertility treatment with donor oocytes. Yet both countries take different approaches to how egg donation is regulated. The US model reveals a hierarchically organized form of gendered eugenics. In Spain, the eugenic aspects of donor selection are more subtle. Drawing upon fieldwork in the United States and Spain, this article examines (1) how compensated egg donation operates under two regulatory settings, (2) the implications for egg donors as providers of bioproducts, and (3) how advances in oocyte vitrification enhances the commodity quality of human eggs. By comparing these two reproductive bioeconomies we gain insight into how different cultural, medical, and ethical frameworks intersect with egg donor embodied experiences.

    Having Children in Cross-border Contexts: Late-Family Formation among Homoparental Families in Spain.
    (ABRASCO, 2024-04-19) Sánchez Molina, Eusebio Raúl; Konvalinka, Nancy Anne
    Considered until recently unfit to rear children, non-heterosexual people have been excluded from forming families in most countries. Many, worldwide, demand access to family formation, claiming the same aptitudes as heterosexual people for raising children. However, when non-heterosexual singles and couples want to become parents in Spain, they must consider transnational contexts, resorting to inter-country adoption or surrogacy abroad, processes that contribute to delay their family formation. They must consider not only Spanish sociocultural conditions, but other countries’ legal restrictions regarding parents’ gender, social status, and sexual identity. These families experience great difficulty in gaining access to reproductive health services. Based on multi-site ethnographic fieldwork, this text addresses how, despite legislative changes allowing homoparental family formation in Spain, these parents must overcome complex bureaucratic processes when they decide to have children, while facing homophobic attitudes and policies in their quests to become parents.
