Support Group for Women with PostPartum/PostNatal Depression
I really believe that we need to talk more and share more about PostPartum (PostNatal) Depression. It is something that I know many moms do not want to share with others for fear that we will be labeled bad, evil…

The New Zealand Herald: Sperm donor ‘left me for babies’
This story scares me. The donor we used, although anonymous and found through proper fertility clinic channels is a man who’s wife was unable to have her own children. Although our donor stated in his profile that he was donating…

Why We Need Better Laws and Better Understanding of those Laws
Looks like another DI family is getting themselves into a legal mess because tougher laws are not in place and those that are in place are not fully understood. I was made aware of a situation in Kansas after…

A Nerve is touched by a blog post “Parenting donor conceived children: Is it different?”
I saw this blog post from OliviasView called Parenting donor conceived children: Is it different? several days ago when it popped up in my inbox. The title certainly intrigued me and usually I read her posts as soon as they get to…

Allison Rouble
I am a 41 year old DI Mom to 2 year old B/G Twins and a 4 year old daughter all born using anonymous donor sperm #BGM 9581 from xytex. I live with my wonderful Husband in Ontario, Canada. I am many things other then a Mom. I am a wicked dreamer, a mild mannered skunk hunter, a no nonsense chef, a lover of a glass of wine, a participating wife and a best friend. I started blogging about my crazy life as a mom to donor conceived kids back in 2009 when my first daughter was just 1 and I was trying for baby #2 (which ended up being twins). Now I write at GENdMOM.com about my life and issues having to do with the world of Donor Gametes, infertility, and the mess it can all sometimes be.
However, I discovered I had more to write about then just being a mom of donor conceived kids, I also found that I got great joy from interacting with others about being a Mom, A Wife, A Women, etc. Most importantly I found an online world of friends and family. Therefore I started another blog PandeMommium.com where I write about my nutty life with my 3 kids, and my husband all while trying to maintain some sense of still being a women who has aspirations and desires that go beyond diapers, mac and cheese, treehouse, disney, potty training, well you get the idea!
