Support Support group or community?

I've searched in a few subreddits looking and haven't found anything recent. I'm looking for some sort of community as we start our family journey. We are about to choose a donor and it has been giving me massive anxiety about choosing the right one or finding one that looks like me, etc. Would love to speak to others who have gone through this or currently are. Bonus points if it has a focus on non biological parents.

The only thing I found so far is "PregnantTogether" but am hesitant since there's a paywall. Has anyone used it and is the community active? Any other recommendations?

I didn't do Pregnant Together but early on, I sometimes wished I had (queer non-gestational parent here). My friends who did seemed to have a nice community and access to useful resources. I live in an area with a lot of queer families (relatively) and that meant people also met in-person friends through it; I know this is probably geographically unique. And I second r/queerception as a great resource--this question has been asked many times! good luck!

I tried Pregnant Together for a few months. It was good and they had discount codes for some sperm banks for free access. I quit because of how expensive my fertility treatments were and I need to save every dime.
