Talking with kids about their conception

 

Where to start:

Check out the following Creating a Family radio shows on talking with kids about their conception:

 

 

Information and Resources:

  • "Talking with Children Conceived Through Donor Insemination, IVF with Egg Donor or Surrogacy" is a free online fact sheet provided by The Center for Adoption Support and Education.

  • "Talking about birds and bees and technologies" is a good article with concrete examples of talking with children about their conception, including conception with donor eggs and sperm. It quotes Carol Jones, an infertility therapist that I interviewed on the Feb. 11, 2009 Creating a Family show.

  • Mommies, Daddies, Donors, Surrogates by Dr. Diane Ehrensaft I interviewed Dr. Ehrensaft on the Feb. 6 show of Creating a Family. You can listen to the interview on the radio page. The book is insightful and based on her extensive experience counseling families created through Assisted Reproduction Technology.
