The Magic of You

A personalized book for donor conceived children, starring the important people in their story.

The Magic of You is not just another story for talking about donor conception or surrogacy – it is your story! 

Children find these books delightful as the photos mean you and they star in their very own book.

Children's book to help explain donor conception and/or surrogacy to your child.

Tips for communicating with your donor conceived child

  • Start the conversation when they are very little
  • Talk to them about their story often – it is not a ‘once and done’
  • The language you use will develop as they develop
  • Donor conceived people tell us it’s important that you refer to the donor as my/our donor not your donor – see our blog on ‘What to call the donor’. When they are older, your child will decide what they want to call their parent’s donor.
  • We recommend you join groups on social media that include donor conceived adults and follow hashtags like #donorconceived - they give an insight into what your child may experience.
