As more and more families are growing through embryo donation and adoption, parents continue to scratch their heads and wonder, “What do we tell the kids???”
Joining “Our Wish for a Baby” and “Hope and Will Have a Baby” on the shelf of children’s books focusing on this unique way children enter families is “Training Wheels: How Did I Get Here?”
This collaborative work by Chris Barrett, Digital Media Manager for The National Embryo Donation Center (NEDC), and a University of Tennessee psychology professor, Dr. Sally B. Hunter, warms the heart as it shares how children born through embryo donation and adoption are special and very much loved.
In a cheery rhyming pattern paired with colorful illustrations by Tyler Garrison the story of five-year-old Miles and his new bike unfolds. The bike, a birthday present from Miles’ special friend, Mike, opens a door for Miles’ parents to explain that Mike’s mom and dad gave them a very special gift as well when they donated their remaining embryos and Miles was born as a result.
