Donor Embryo Book Resources?

in Third-Party Reproduction

So far I have only found 2 resources that specifically address DEmbryo.

Anyone know of any other books out there either on exploring this family building option or how to tell children?

    I think there are very few books specifically about donor embryos other than the ones you listed. Here is the only other one I have on my amazon wish list:

    https://www.amazon.com/Before-Born-Our-Story-Embryo-Donation/dp/0975502867/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=36ESJOMWY79M7&coliid=I2L3Q0QJGDL2SB 

     

    I am planning to make my own book for our child(ren) through either scrap booking materials or through a more professional online site like snapfish. I am keeping mementos of our journey to share in a kid-friendly way so we can start reading it to him/her from the beginning. I'm eager to see if anyone else has any book suggestions because this greatly interests me too!

    Thanks Liz. 

    When I went to Amazon to look at the book you listed, this children's book also caught my eye about DEmbryo in the ticker across the bottom of the page.

    "Hope & Will Have A Baby:  The Gift of Embryo Donation" by Irene Celcer

    so we can add that to this list.  Will be ordering both books today!

    Once you get them, would you mind reposting about how you like them? I understand some people said the terminology is antiquated, but I'd like to hear your thoughts. :) thanks!
