Our son is about to start second grade and I need to find some books to explain donor insemination on some level. What he knows right now is that he has 2 moms because there is no man living in the house. He knows a man helped make him and that is IT.
2 nd graders know so much more and I want to give him the right info when kids have questions
Any recommendations?

What I am looking for is something that explains the dad part better. Kids say to him, " You have to have a dad that made you"
What I'm learning is that I tend to think these kind of conversations will be much more difficult than they turn out to be. Kids (my own and those outside of our family) usually accept and are receptive of MUCH simpler answers than I am expecting.
Also, we speak of the donor in front of our children from the get go so that they hear the word and are familiar with it and over time learn what it means on their own from simply listening to us talk about it and can ask questions as they feel the need to. That way it is never a big deal.
Good Luck!

You could use it in EVERY family - donor sperm, donor egg, surrogacy, adoption, etc. It's done very simply and effectively. "You need this part and this part to make a baby. Some people have this part and some people don't. Etc..."
I highly recommend it.
