Description

Our Story


For children conceived through embryo donation (embryos donated by a couple) in two-mum families -  SINGLE BABY VERSION


This delightful, beautifully illustrated book, aimed at children from 2-6yrs, explains in simple words and pictures how Mummy and Mama 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 another couple shared their embryos to help Mummy and Mama. There is a simple explanation of how you need a seed from a man and an egg from a woman to make a baby but there is no reference to sex. The book also explains that the seed and egg join together to form a group of cells called an embryo and the embryo is what will grow into a baby. 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 donors 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 information about the donors you can introduce that into the story at some point, if you wish.
