Three Makes Baby

The Three Makes Baby Workbook was designed to help readers work through Rupnow's trademarked "Five Common Fears About Donor Conception". Drawing on a more than a decade of professional experience with couples, Rupnow created twenty exercises to offer readers a way to identify their current attitudes, thoughts and feelings as they contemplate donor conception. In this accessible workbook, self-tests, pointed questions, and journaling will help readers learn to apply the concepts outlined in Three Makes Baby-How to Parent Your Donor-Conceived Child. Brand new to this working edition is an illustration of the Carlile Grief Model and Thirty Questions to Ask your sperm bank, egg donation agency or fertility clinic to be a more informed participant in the donation process. ?Whether worried about your child's feelings, being the legitimate parent, or coping with social differences, this book offers a practical way to cope with the confusing thoughts and emotions that arise on the path to growing your family in a non-traditional way. The twenty exercises were written to give the reader clarity and help couples communicate about their specific concerns, feeling more empowered to make the best decision for their family.
