Our Story #03 (Heterosexual Couple, Sperm Donation & Surrogacy 1 child)

Author(s): Donor Conception Network

Reproductive Treatments/ Surrogacy/ Adoption

For children conceived through sperm donation and surrogacy in mum and dad families - SINGLE BABY VERSION


This delightful, beautifully illustrated book, aimed at children from 2-6yrs, explains in simple words and pictures how Mummy and Daddy went to the clinic to get some help when they were trying to have a baby. The book is written in the first person, from the child's perspective, and explains how a donor gave some of his seeds and a surrogate offered her tummy to help Mummy and Daddy.


There is a simple explanation of how you need a seed from a man and an egg from a woman to make a baby and a warm tummy to grow the baby in but there is no reference to sex. It talks about how there are different ways to make a family and they come in all shapes and sizes. There is no specific explanation of what treatment was used (eg IVF) and there are no details about who exactly the donor or surrogate are. The book is designed as a simple starting point for parents to begin sharing the family story with their child. Parents can then build on that with more precise details as and when it feels appropriate. For example, you can add the details of your treatment as you tell the story to give a fuller picture. If you have a known surrogate or have information about the donor you can introduce that into the story at some point, if you wish.
