[quote=Anonymous]NP, I am single woman who used a donor-donor embryo after years of trying to get pregnant through IUI/IVF with my own eggs. I am am still pregnant so this is all "in theory" bc I havent gotten that far.  In my situation, the embryos were created using donor-donor material by another single woman who went through my clinic. She had 1 kid (all she wanted) and gave back the remaining embryos from the batch. I did 2 transfers and 1 took.

People typically point to a few well-known childrens books (Wish, etc.) but they tend to have mom-dad families or not deal with donor.  There is one series that I know of that has many permutations of family building: https://www.dcnetwork.org/catalog/books-children

I plan to tell my child early and often. When I did the meeting with a counselor prior to my egg donation cycles, she suggested I talk about it to the child when they are an infant and "practice" what I will say before the baby really understands what I am talking about and is really just responding to my voice. Repetition and saying the words to your baby will help you get the story right. I liked that idea and found it helpful. [/quote]
