Description
Written for parents of donor-conceived children, this book provides information and guidance on talking to teenage children about donor-conception. It draws upon surveys with adolescents and donor-conceived people on how such news should be told, and discusses issues surrounding disclosure, secrecy, rights and preferences, initiating conversations, adolescent responses, the father relationship, the donor, possible support needs, and the law regarding disclosure and information access in Victoria.
