Helping the Stork:
The Choices and Challenges of Donor Insemination
by Carol Frost Vercollone, Heidi Moss, Robert Moss
buynow.gif (1537 bytes)
Did you know that donor insemination is as widespread a means of family-building as adoption? Few people realize it because of the secrecy usually surrounding this choice, a choice hundreds of thousands of people consider each year. Childless couples and single women are in greater need than ever of an informative, complete, and supportive bible on the subject. This is the one book that people will want to get all the help they need when considering this option. Heidi Moss, a clinical social worker counseling infertile couples, and Robert Moss, a professor in the field of genetics and developmental biology, now the parents of two children conceived via donor insemination, wrote this book after searching in vain for information on the subject. Carol Frost Vercollone was the first clinical social worker at the national infertility organization.
