Book: Helping the Stork - Choices and Challenges of DI
There aren't many books on donor insemination, but I found one that was pretty good:
Helping the Stork: The Choices and Challenges of Donor Insemination It was very comforting and addressed a lot of my concerns. It was not judgemental or preachy. For example, I could tell that the authors recommend telling DI children about their origins, but they also realize that it's the couple's choice and they don't harp on it. I recommend it for anyone going through DI or family and friends of people going through DI.
