Hello ladies Yesterday, one of my daughters friends said to her 'you don't have a Daddy' which led to me pondering the Daddy/Donor question again. If anyone is interested I blogged about it here http://emmadventurer.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/you-haven-got-daddy.html?m=0#comment-form Very interested to ...

UPDATE I have just got off the phone after talking to a lovely lady at The Donor Conception Network. She said that my feedback has been taken on board & that they may consider the wording in future issues of the book. She herself was not offended by the term 'just us' but could totally see where...

The book has arrived. I'm sorry to say that I HATE it!! I really don't like the way it's written (in the eyes of the child) or the illustrations (childrens drawings) The bit I hate the most is 'Some children might live with their mum & dad. And there are many other kinds of families too. In our ...

I've just bought the book from DCN, will report back! Will also go & have a peruse on Amazon! Interesting to hear what Tracy said about getting more info from the clinic. I rang up & they wouldn't say anything else, but I reckon I'll try again as I can hardly remember what they told me a out...

Hi ladies! Lola is now 27 months old and has started calling me MummyDaddy! I think it's because her latest obsession is Peppa Pig (nuclear family!!) and has become aware of Daddy Pig. I've had to catch myself on as I have found myself saying "it's 'just' Mummy darling". This doesn't seem ...
