Sasha: Great eggspectations

Dear Sasha,

My partner and I really want to have a baby (she would carry) and we've talked about the option of having my brother donate his sperm.

I really love the idea of our baby having my genes. I'm worried that the relationship between my brother and the baby, and me for that matter, would be difficult or confusing, and I guess I'm wondering if you know of any others that have gone this route.

Join author Heather Kuttai as she reads from her groundbreaking new book Maternity Rolls. Bring your kids to play at L'il Bean and Green while you listen to Heather's stories.

Heather Kuttai’s story is unlike any other mothering story -- and that is the point. As she struggled with the fears, anxiety and doubts of all expectant mothers, Heather was also confronted with indifference from the healthcare system and ignorance from people all around her. Through all of that, there was no What to Expect When You’re Expecting for a pregnant disabled woman. So Heather has written her story to help other disabled women.
