Discussing use of donor with kids

Comments

  • Hi! I am new here and couldn't be more excited! Our we finally got our little miracle this year. We are also planning on telling her about how she conceived. There is a great book called DADDY, was mommys tummy big? There are 2 versions. One for egg donor the other for sperm donors. It is very appropriatey for young children. It is cartoon elephants and it talks about all the tests. And shots that mommy had to do and still no baby. It talks about how sad they. were to not have a baby and then how someone somewhere was so nice donated sperm to make the perfect baby. Sorry if this is all jumbled. I am typing from my phone and cannot see the screen as I type. Hope this helps!
  • I'm adopted so my boys are used to hearing "biological father". However, as we've all had genetic testing done in the last year, we've coined the phrase "Genetic Donors". The only question my teens asked was "why not adopt". We're of an age that we can not get permission to adopt through normal channels. I've already raised two boys with high medical/educational needs and honestly have tried to pick genetic donors who are intelligent but don't have a history of the issues that my other children have now.
  • Even though we have been unsuccessful at becoming parents I know we will be and have already started to prepare for this topic. My current plan is to buy several age appropriate book about the many different types of families and the many different ways they were created. It is my hope that by exposing my child to the many different ways of creating a family will help to create an open mind and open a natural communication. I will also create there own special photo book so their story can be read to them too.
  • What/how were yo planning to make their own story book? I would love to do the same!
