Hi Everyone,

that is a really great idea of JoRach- i have been on this ivf/home insemination journey for the last 8 years really - and i must admit i haven't come across many books, stories that explain ivf, donor children etc well.

i vaguely remember PlaySchool getting into some trouble a few years ago - for reading a book about a little girl that had two mummies. Although the name of the book escapes me.

I am at the stage of development with our children where questions are being asked - two children with the same anon donor through a clinic and one child with a different donor who i know - conceived with a syringe at home. My son who has the known donor - is very curious to know where his 'dad' is and why he isn't around. The other two children dont' seem to care or want to know.

so if anyone has some suggestions of books for the 3-5year age group - id love to hear your ideas.

the only books i have are some books i ordered from the States about 5 years ago - on Lesbian parenting etc.. they have been helpful in some ways - but are not child appropriate.

I live in Brisbane and haven't discovered any bookshops that are quite like the ones that I am use to in Newtown -Sydney etc

Cheers
Levi
