Books by Emma Grønbæk

Jeg vil gerne dele min historie om at være donorbarn. Jeg er sygeplejerske og under studiet gik det op for mig, at min og min families erfaringer måske kan komme andre til gode.I dag har mine forældre tre børn, der alle er kommet til verden ved hjælp af fertilitetsbehandlinger. Ligesom mange andre danske par havde de svært ved at få børn. Op mod hvert 10. barn kommer til verden ved hjælp af fertilitetsbehandlinger.Jeg har inviteret førende danske læger og psykologer til at sætte min personlige historie i perspektiv med deres viden om fertilitetsbehandling, valg af donor, parforhold og familieliv.Læs bogen som et indspark i debatten om brug af donorer, og hvad det kan betyde for de børn, der kommer ud af fertilitetsbehandlinger med donor.

In this book, you will meet me, Emma, and my family. I share my story of being a donor child, how it has impacted my life, my parents' involuntary childlessness, and how we have dealt with donor conception in my family. Against the advice from doctors, my parents choose from the beginning to tell me the truth about the help they had received to become a family. Today, my parents have three children, all of whom have come into the world through fertility treatments.Our story is not unique. Many couples worldwide have difficulty having children and this means that up to every 10th child is born with the help of fertility treatments.I have invited leading Danish specialists to put my personal story in perspective with their knowledge of fertility treatment, choice of donor, relationships and family life. Read the book as a impute on the debate regarding donor use and how it can influence children who are conceived through fertility treatments with donor conception.
