Description

Ruby's mom tells her the wonderfully unique story of how she came into being through sperm donation. Along the way, Ruby learns about how her mom sought the help of a sperm donor and doctor, as well as the ultimate good news of her birth into a warm and loving family. Learn more at lindastamm.com. From the Author Progress in medical science and assisted reproductive technology (ART) have for some time enabled couples to have a genetic connection with their children through the use of a sperm donor. Although such technology can readily help single parents, as well, there is still strong social stigma in some communities for single mothers who want to build a new family on their own. Nevertheless, a growing number of women are doing so. Limited resources exist to help single mothers engage in open and honest discussions on how their children came to be. It is my hope that Ruby & Mommy will be used as a tool to begin this very important dialogue. This book is a tribute to women who make the choice to share their life and love with a child.

Author Biography:

Dr. Linda Stamm has been a practicing clinical psychologist for over 30 years. She specializes in the assessment and treatment of psychological issues related to infertility, pregnancy, perinatal loss, and the postpartum period. In her private practice she provides psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and groups, and routinely serves as a consultant to several reproductive endocrinology clinics. Dr. Stamm received her bachelor's degree in psychology from Brown University and her doctorate in clinical psychology from Rutgers University. From her earliest days of childhood, Joan Clipp loved to draw. Despite doodling when she should have been taking notes in class, she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in graphic design. From her first collegiate experience at Daytona State College, to receiving her BFA from the University of West Georgia, she never stopped drawing, crafting, painting, and creating her art. With her husband, Mike, Joan started PolymerCAFÉ, a craft magazine about the wonderful world of polymer clay. The print publication ran from 2000 to 2015, and she still teaches and enjoys working in polymer clay and mixed media, making jewelry, animal and flower sculptures, and clay-on-canvas works. When not creating, she likes reading, writing, listening to live music, and walks on the beach. She lives and works in Port Orange, Florida.
