Building a Family with the Assistance
of Donor Insemination
Ken Daniels
This exciting new book is written primarily for those who are considering donor insemination or who have built their families in this way. Doctors, nurses and counsellors, as well as semen donors are also finding the book very helpful and informative.
The book is based on the moving and inspirational experiences of parents who recount their journeys from discovering infertility, to making the decision to use donor insemination, to having 'their' family. A major focus of the book is a consideration of the issues associated with talking with children about DI.
Ken Daniels is Associate Professor of Social Work at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand and he uses his 27 years of counselling, research and policy development in the area of DI to present a book which is based on research, enlightened thinking and parents' experiences.
“This is a book we should all read and have as a resource for clients to use.”
Liz Scott, Therapist. England
“This is THE book for any couple or individual contemplating building a family with the assistance of sperm donation. There is no question that it should also be required reading for all those who work in clinics where DI is practised.”

Network.

“This is an excellent book … It is very respectful of recipients and their families as well as donors. It will go a long way toward helping couples see their varied responses as within the normal range, and they will find a number of practical suggestions for processing their experiences, for grieving and for making decisions.”
Mary Casey Jacob, Psychologist. USA
“This is a book that all families created from donated sperm, all those considering this option, donors, family and friends and the health professionals who work with DI families, should read. It is a very honest positive book with the primary goal of assisting in building confident healthy families.
Kate Bourne, Infertility Counsellor. Australia
