Summary:  Once shrouded in secrecy, the modern family, built with the assistance of gamete (egg or sperm) donation, is coming out of the shadows. As more people see friends, family members and celebrities use donor conception to build their families, the process has become much more mainstream and accepted. Donor sperm programs and egg banks have grown enormously in the past decade and the news is full of politicians, athletes and entertainers like Elton John, Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen, Camille Guaty, Pete Buttigieg, and Natalie Imbruglia, who used donor gametes to have their children. Authors, Lisa Schuman, a licensed clinical social worker and therapist and Dr. Mark Leondires, have decades of experience working with patients as well as their own personal stories of fertility treatment and non-genetic parenthood. Together they walk readers through the medical and genetic aspects of donor conception, common ethical dilemmas, managing relationships with friends and family members, ways to tell donor-conceived children about their origins, and strategies to cope with the difficulties of fertility treatment. In a compassionate and authoritative narrative, they help stressed out parents-to-be find their way forward with confidence and joy. Lisa Schuman, LCSW, is a family building expert, award winning researcher, and therapist. As the founding Director of The Center for Family Building, she guides people around the world to build the families of their dreams. Ms. Schuman lives in Connecticut with her husband and three children. Mark Leondires, MD, is the Founder and Medical Director at Illume Fertility and the Founder of Gay Parents To Be, a leading family-building resource for the LGBTQ+ community. Dr. Leondires resides in Connecticut with his partner and their two children. Other authors:  Leondires, Mark.
