But it also raises a host of questions that won't arise until after the child is born: What will you say to "Where did I come from?" when the answer includes a donor or surrogate? Will knowing the truth about how you conceived make your child love you less? Will having a baby with someone else strain your relationship with your spouse or partner? What will grandparents, family members, friends, and co-workers think? Dr. Diane Ehrensaft - a developmental and clinical psychologist who's worked with families formed using assisted reproductive technology (ART) for more than twenty years - helps you anticipate the big questions and find solutions that are right for you and your loved ones." "Dr. Ehrensaft offers information, support, and straightforward advice for coping with private worries, confronting public prejudices, and raising happy, healthy children." "Single or married, straight or gay, anyone looking forward to the joys and challenges of building a family with the help of a donor or surrogate will discover a wealth of thought-provoking ideas and fresh insights in this sensitive, practical, and positive book."--JacketHuman reproductive technologyPsychological aspectsSurrogate motherhoodPsychological aspectsParentingPsychological aspectsParentsCounseling ofFamily psychotherapyParent and childHuman reproductive technologyPsychological aspects.Surrogate motherhoodPsychological aspects.ParentingPsychological aspects.ParentsCounseling of.Family psychotherapy.Parent and child.618.1/7806Ehrensaft Diane327283MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827726403321Mommies, daddies, donors, surrogates3926400UNINA
