<h2><span class="display-3">How to talk to your child about donor conception?</span></h2>
<p>Children ask a lot of questions about who they are and where they come from. This helps them better understand who they are. At Cryos, we recommend sharing your child&rsquo;s unique story with them early on to make it a natural part of their upbringing. On this page, you can read our advice on <a href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/for-parents/how-to-talk-to-your-child-about-donor-conception/">how to talk to your child about donor conception</a>, hopefully resulting in your child seeing how special they are.</p>
<h2><span class="display-3">Getting in contact with the sperm donor</span></h2>
<p>Some donor-conceived children are more interested in learning about their genetic heritage than others. If your child wants to meet their donor, we recommend taking a look at the page <a href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/for-parents/getting-in-contact-with-the-sperm-donor/">Getting in contact with the sperm donor</a>. The page contains a guide on how your child can contact the donor and how to talk to your child about the situation.</p>
<h2><span class="display-3">Learnings from donor-conceived people</span></h2>
<p>We have talked to various donor-conceived people to hear how they feel about being donor-conceived. Many parents of <a href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/blog/donor-conceived-children-everything-you-need-to-know/">donor-conceived children</a> find the stories and learnings helpful, as they show that <a href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/for-parents/learnings-from-donor-conceived-people/">donor-conceived people in general are doing well</a>. The page also contains a section about Susan Golombok's research on donor-conceived people. The research supports the stories and shows that donor-conceived people in general are doing well.</p>
<h2><span class="display-3">Testimonials from parents</span></h2>

<h2><span class="display-3">Children&rsquo;s book by Cryos</span></h2>
<p>We have created a <a href="/en-gb/dk-shop/private/for-parents/childrens-book-about-donor-conception/">children&rsquo;s book</a> to support and help you begin the conversation about donor conception with your child. The book was made by Cryos with help from Cryos&rsquo; Donor Child Consultant, Emma, who is donor-conceived herself. You can find it in three different versions customized for the different family forms: Single women, lesbian couples, and heterosexual couples.</p>
