 Not good if you're looking for information May 19, 2008

If you're looking for information about donor insemination, this is not the place to find it. You won't find anything about ovulation, LH surges, or the pros and cons of using frozen sperm in this book. This is a book strictly for heterosexual couples about the "emotional journey" of deciding to use donor insemination when they realize the husband is infertile.

Honestly, I felt this book was "just okay". It was informative, but a dry read. Also, it focuses mostly on couples.
 Great book! October 24, 2007
My wife and I have read this together as we started our journey with DI. Yes, the book does concentrate on heterosexual married couples, but it states that in the forward. Even if you aren't the norm, there is plenty of general info on DI that is useful for anyone using this method to create a family. Our favorite parts were the personal stories and experiences. They are sprinkled throughout the chapters and really gave us a chance to talk out some of our different thoughts and emotions.
There is technical/medical information, but it is not very in-depth. Most of the book deals with the emotional aspect of DI. Overall I highly recommend it.

This book was a wonderful tool for my husband and I when we were exploring DI as an option. This is the one book that truly addresses our unique infertility situation. None of the other infertility books spend more than a page talking about using donor sperm. This was wonderful!
A great book to help with the loss! October 31, 2002

I am a DI adoptee and I recommended this book to my mother. She really felt validated by the book. As an DI adoptee I also recommend "Adoption Forum" by Kasey Hamner. It covers DI from all angles. And those touched by DI are represented in many of the other topics. Oh, and remember, always disclose!!
