Challenging Conceptions by Lisa Saffron

This is the essential UK guidebook for lesbians who are creating their own families. It includes the experiences of birth mothers, co-parents, children, and donors. There are chapters on fertility awareness, inseminating, screening, anonymous vs known donors; singles and couples; the children's perspective; the law; when SI isn't working; donor insemination through clinics. First published as Getting Pregnant Our Own Way in 1986, Challenging Conceptions was rewritten and published by Cassell in 1994. This self published version was updated in 1998.
