Idreos Education Trust, 2006
(72 pages, $12.95, paperback)
reviewed by Anne Barbeau Gardiner
This little but groundbreaking book gives us the life histories, in their own words, of three women who were conceived by anonymous donor insemination (DI) and lament that they were deliberately kept in the dark about their natural father’s identity and his family history.
