Finished book is amazing. It was great to be able to personalise my child's story so we can look at this as they grow up.

Beautifully made book
Beautifully made book. I have being searching for a donor conceived book for a long time.
I do wish there was a better way to add in the donor letter to the book for my son. The customer service have also being lovely.
Highly recommend!!!!
Great final product and brilliant support
It’s a very easy to use app/ website to create your book, lovely final product and brilliant customer support if you get stuck at any point of the process or simply require a change. Highly recommended
Really beautiful idea.
This is a brilliant idea between ESB and sensitive matters, I think it’s so important to be able to explain why my daughter doesn’t have a dad from an early age and this book has allowed me to do that in a really beautiful and personal way. It’s so hard to find baby books that don’t always mention mummy and daddy so I’m really happy with this. The book was easy to edit and has really nice illustrations.

It is ok
Nice idea, but the price and especially the shipping costs are surprisingly expensive. Unfortunately, the finish of the book is not very nice

perfect to tell the story of your unique family
This is an amazing website to create the perfect book to tell the story of your unique family. We designed our story about our son having two mummies and being created through reciprocal ivf. We are so proud of his story and want to share it with him but also with wider family members to help give them a narrative about how to speak about our donor. Sensitive matters was exactly what we were looking for to guide us through designing and printing this book. The website was a little fidgety to get used to, but it’s so worth sticking with. We received our book and the quality is fantastic! I cannot believe how affordable it is for such a precious personalised item. We absolutely love it.

Received our voucher for the magic of you book very quickly and it was a great book
Great idea!
I love the idea of this book. The photos came out ok and the formatting was exactly how we wanted it. But the quality of the book is so poor, we didn’t get through one look through the book without almost ALL the pages ripping. The book pages almost seemed perforated. Weird? I’m really disappointed because I was looking forward to my child having this as a tool, but now I have to figure out how to rebind the book together.

After receiving a wonderful and apologetic email from the folks at Sensitive matters, they were able to send us a new book. Fortunately, the new book's quality is 10 times better than the first one and we are able to turn the pages without worrying about them ripping. It's a high quality book and I recommend anyone who has a "non-traditional" family to buy this book for your kiddos. We read it to our little one at least 2-3 times a week and she loves it.
Thanks again to the team at Sensitive Matters for handling the previous issue.

This was a wonderful project for a family member who was displaced. I really enjoyed being able to change the situations, and move the pictures and clipart I had selected. The program was very user friendly. I loved that I didn't have to download anything. When I did hit a small snag the staff was very helpful. I definitely would use them again.

Excellent personalised books which help our three sperm donor conceived understand their coming into the world. We loved making these wonderful books with them and every night they ask to read "their magic books"!
The best book for nontraditional family building
I cannot thank Sensitive Matters enough for giving me the best tool to teach my son about the way he came to be. It is so important for donor conceived individuals to grow up knowing their story. I love that Sensitive Matters made it easy for me to share complex issues in a way that my son can understand and to customize it to our own family’s journey. This is more than a book, it’s the story of our family and it will be treasured for years to come.
