The program focuses on some of the families Meijer helped to provide a child, though many of them were unaware of the extent of his donations.
He was banned from donating in his home country, the Netherlands, after being judged for deceiving recipient families. However, in an interview with LADbible, Meijer denies the allegations.
Following the documentary’s impact, Jonathan took the opportunity to send a message to his donor children, explaining that he sees his relationship with them as that of an uncle and wishes they understand that the current phase of criticism and negativity is temporary.
Meijer hopes that in the future, the experience of being a donor child will be celebrated more positively.

“I know I’m not the caregiver, the father, I’m just the donor. But, in terms of feeling, you could say like an uncle, and I think they feel that way about me too. […] We should focus on making this more positive and easier for people to become donors. Then, also, I wouldn’t have so much work! If there were more donors, I would have retired much earlier.”,
Meanwhile, Natalie Hill, the executive producer of the documentary, defends the veracity of the allegations against Meijer, mentioning that many families were impacted by his actions and sought justice.
Hill argues that Meijer’s claims about only a few women being affected are false, emphasizing that many families testified against him.
“Fifty families made impact statements to the court about his lies and pleaded with the judge to stop him. So, this continued platform for Jonathan to talk about being just a handful of women is completely false.”
