Thinking about the possibility of a sperm, egg or embryo donor?
Gail Pascoe had a daughter through an American Sperm donor more than thirteen years ago. When she found out that her daughter had over 100 siblings she wrote a book called Donor Conception: A Step by Step Guide.
Meticulously researched, this book is full of stories and insights, some great, and others not so great, that will assist anyone who is interested in conceiving a child via a donor. There are risk and benefits to this path and Gail has considered them all in her wonderful book.
Unfortunately Gail passed away on the 17th May, 2024, exactly one week before her book was published. Her passing was due to a long illness and she was therefore able to provide a community of friends and family to support her beloved daughter now, and into the future.
If you would like to purchase a copy of Gail's book, it is available on Amazon Kindle and Kindle Unlimited. It is also available from Amazon in paperback form, or can be ordered from most bookstores.
