"The first comprehensive book for children born through donor conception and their families More than one million people have been born in the U.S. through donor sperm or eggs, including Wendy Kramer's son. Realizing the unique concerns of being or parenting a donor-conceived child, Kramer launched what would become the world's largest database for connecting donor-conceived people, the Donor Sibling Registry (DSR), which receives up to two million hits per month. Finding Our Families provides additional support for this growing community. With compassion and insight, the authors draw on extensive research to address situations families face throughout a donor-conceived child's development, including the search for a biological parent or half-sibling, and how to forge a healthy self-image"-- "Reference guide for parents and childern conceived through donor conception who want to search for the missing pieces of their genetic, medical and ancestral backgrounds"--

What is expected of 21st Century egg and sperm donors, and how does being a donor impact on men and women's own personal lives and relationships? How do donors navigate connections and relationships created by donation? What do these connections mean to them, and to the people around them -their partners, parents, siblings and children? Donor conception is becoming increasingly widespread and since the new millennium, we have witnessed a dramatic shift in the way that donor conception is regulated and practiced in many jurisdictions around the world. In the past, donor conception has often been a family secret and donors were, almost by definition, anonymous. Now, 'openness' is seen as the ideal and donors can expect to be traced or contacted by those born from their donations. But what does this shift mean for donors, and their families? This path-breaking book draws on in-depth interviews with donors, their kin and fertility counsellors, and addresses these questions by analysing how understandings of donation are shaped by the regulatory, cultural and relational contexts in which they are formed. The authors also discuss what donation stories can tell us about contemporary understandings of connectedness, time and morality in the context of reproduction and family life, and consider how reproductive 'openness' might be done differently.

Each year, tens of thousands of children are conceived with donated gametes (sperm or eggs). Some know the identity of their donors. Others never will. Questions about what donor-conceived should know about their genetic progenitors are significant for literally millions of people, including donor-conceived people, their parents and donors. But the practice of gamete donation also provides a vivid occasion for thinking about questions that matter to everyone. In 'Conceiving People', author Daniel Groll argues that people who plan to create a child with donated gametes should choose a donor whose identity will be made available to the resulting child.
