Mommies and Donors

So, I just picked up a good book about assisted conception using donors (sperm and eggs) and surrogates titled Mommies, Daddies, Donors, Surrogates: Answering Tough Questions and Building Strong Families. I'm really enjoying it so far as it brings up many of the strange and unique issues that come up when you create a family with the help of a person outside of the family. Whether you are gay or straight you share many of the same experiences. Unlike many such books that do a good job of talking about the donor experience of heterosexual parents to be (like Helping the Stork), this one seems to focus equally on all different sorts of families who create life with help of an "other".

If you're planning to or have already created a child with the help of those outside your family, you may want to check this book out. I'm thinking it may be a good one to share with our family members who have questions too.
