The road to parenthood

Content

For women without a partner, treatment with donor sperm is an ideal way to fulfill their desire to have children, start a family and plan their lives according to their own ideals.

There are many aspects to consider when a partner is not available to support you through pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting.
At this address, single women will find important information to help them make their decision.

It can be very helpful to get in touch with parents who already have children from donor sperm treatment and are willing to share their experiences. Contact can be made at www.di-netz.de.

You also have the opportunity to take part in preparatory seminars under psychological guidance with experts on donor sperm treatment and the associated psychological, medical and legal aspects. (www.pthorn.de)

You can also get personal contact and exchange ideas with parents with children from donor sperm treatment as part of such a seminar.

Intro

Education of the child

We strongly recommend that the child is openly informed about the special circumstances surrounding their conception as early as possible. Counselling by trained professionals  with experience in donor sperm treatment is also highly recommended.

Interviews from different perspectives on the topic can be found here.

Some individuals may believe that it is better not to tell their children about their genetic background. However, concealing the truth often becomes a burden to the parents with time and can jeopardize the level of trust between family members.

It is advisable to inform the child about the nature of their conception as early as kindergarten. Children who grow up with this knowledge do not experience the situation as something unnatural ,and the trust between parents and the child is not compromized.

Meanwhile there are also good educational picture books on this topic, e.g. at FamART.
