The Special Two: An Enchanting and Heart-Warming Tale of How a Precious Boy Came into the World

by Sarah Kissane

The Special Two is a beautiful short story that was written to explain and introduce the concept of being a donor-conceived child. It’s a simple but thoughtful explanation outlining the journey of a baby being created through IVF with the help of a generous stranger. This was written with mindfulness and a deep appreciation and connection for the amazing gift of life and is explained with an abundance of love, thought, and passion. Showing a child that they were born into this world uniquely and that they were deeply desired even before conception is so important. This is a story for all children to show how families are created in many ways and to provide an insight into the modern family. It is also a tribute to all the selfless people providing a way for so many precious children to be in this world.
