TELLING MADE EASY
What's the best way to start talking to your kids about IVF, donors or surrogates?
Did you know?
Over 10,000 kids a year are born with the help or donor eggs in the US and estimates are that 30-60,000 a year are born with the help of donor sperm, while more than 2,000 per year are born through embryo donation. And 5,000-7,000 children are carried by surrogates in the US every year.
There are more than 13 million IVF Kids, and counting! They need to know where they came from, how much they were wanted, and how special they are! Studies show that the earlier kids learn about their unique origins the better.
For donor conceived kids who can't remember a time they didn't know there was a donor who helped them come into the world, the adjustment is easiest. |
