Sperm Donor = Dad: A Single Woman's Story of Creating a Family With an Unknown Donor
TICK TOCK GOES THE BIOLOGICAL CLOCK
When Cheryl's biological clock goes from a gentle tick-tock to a grandfather-clock BONG, BONG, she decides it's time to take action. This lighthearted tale is the true story of a single, straight woman who wants to have a baby but is tired of waiting for Mr. Right. When she decides to use an anonymous sperm donor, the result is a sometimes harrowing, sometimes hilarious journey as Cheryl raises her son by herself. When they stumble upon a way to locate the "anonymous" donor and some of her son's half-siblings, it results in a brand new 21st century family, rich with possibilities.
This book gives the reader a personal peek into the process of donor insemination, and not just from Cheryl's point of view. Her son and one of his siblings share their own observations. A chapter from the donor's perspective takes you behind the closed doors of a sperm bank and answers the question, "Why would a guy want to donate sperm?" Sperm Donor = Dad will tickle your funny bone and touch your heart.

A behind-the-scenes look at one family's donor insemination story
By Beth Cholette "doctor_beth" - August 15, 2010NOTE: I received a free review copy of this book directly from the author.
From the time she was a young girl, author Cheryl Shuler always wanted children. However, as she moves into her 30s and watches most of her friends marry off and start their own families, Shuler begins to feel more and more desperate. Although she is aware of the option of donor insemination, she is hesitant to give up on her dream of the traditional path: marriage and children. But when yet another long-term relationship fails to reach the altar, Shuler gives herself the deadline of age 38: if she is not in a relationship at that time, she will pursue the donor insemination route. And that is exactly what happens. After much agonizing over donor profiles, Shuler finally chooses several viable candidates, and she is thrilled when she becomes pregnant as a result of the third insemination procedure. Nine months later, Shuler gives birth to a son, Gavin.
Shuler is open with Gavin... read more
A Must Read
By Bonnie Randolph "Avid Reader" - May 1, 2010Today I had the pleasure of finishing "Sperm Donor = Dad". This book is witty, warm and continuously holds the reader's attention. The writer was able to tell the story in a way that was informative yet personal. Many parts of the book are "laugh out loud". A MUST READ!
