About the author
Hi, I'm Alisha...
After a very long journey I was blessed to finally become a mum 6 weeks before my 40th birthday, thanks to the generosity of a sperm donor.
I created this book to help build understanding of our family and bring normality to the language associated with donor conception. I wanted to show my daughter that all families are different and it doesn't matter what your family looks like, as all families are perfect just the way they are.
I saw this as an opportunity to bring awareness and understanding for all families, especially those created via non "traditional" methods such as donor conception, surrogacy and adoption,
