learning activities

Developed with extensive input from professionals, teachers, students, donor-conceived individuals, and their families.

Now, donor conception, gamete preservation, surrogacy, insemination, and IVF can be taught right along side everything else. It’s about time! These materials, great for home or the classroom, are great companions to the book, Roads to Family: All the Ways We Come to Be.
