      abstract = {What does it mean to have a child born through donor  conception? Does it mean different things for heterosexual  parents and lesbian parents? What is it like for the  'non-genetic' parent? How do grandparents feel about having  a grandchild who is conceived with the help of an egg,  sperm or embryo donor? Since 1991 more than 35,000 children  have been born in the UK as a result of donor conception.  This means that more and more families are facing the issue  of incorporating 'relative strangers' into their families.  In this path breaking book, the authors explore the lived  reality of donor conception in families by using in-depth  interviews with parents and grandparents of donor conceived  children. With reproductive medical technologies becoming  more accessible, assisted donor conception is raising new  and important questions about family life. This book will  provide compelling reading for all those interested in the  family, kinship, gender and sexuality, new reproductive  technologies, and genetics (Publisher's website).},
