Here is today
question, “What would you do if your husband was sterile and
infertile and you could not conceive a baby? Would you adopt?
Would you just go without a child? Would you consider artificial
insemination? Now before you start answering, I want you to go
back 20 years. Today we test donors extensively, get a medical
history and try to ensure the donor is safe. This was not the
way it was 20 years ago. You knew nothing except what the doctor
tells you. What if you had questions? There were no real
answers. Our guest today experienced this first hand. The book
we will be discussing is called “Dear Donor”. And it is our
pleasure to have as our guest today author Elsa Prado.
