“I’d been worrying about how to tell my child about our egg donor and surrogate, but this book made it so easy. It has simple, clear language and delightful illustrations. My daughter especially likes the family photos."  Fran

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.
