The best 'birds and bees' book for kids... includes DI and IVF
We just bought the best book (IMO lol). It's called "Where Do I Really Come From" by Narelle Wickham.
I bought it for $20 from a GLBT online bookshop in Victoria, but its not gay/lesbian specific... it has info all the different ways a family can have a baby... sexual intercourse, known and unknown donors and DI, IVF, GIFT, adoption and surrogacy... why people need to use different ways to have a baby, and how each of them work. goes through what happens during pregnancy, and info about birth (VB and c/s).
I couldn't really put an age group on it... For us, we'll be putting it on her book shelf for her to look at when she wants, but I guess it depends on how open you want to be with your kids about sex. It does have basic information about DTD, nothing graphic though.
Anyway, just thought I'd post and let people know. With so many bubs being born through DI and IVF and coming into families through adoption, and being born c/s, I thought it'd be a good resource for a lot of families on here
