Jean Ryan and her daughter, Nan, 7, laugh as they read at bedtime Wednesday, May 9, 2012, in their Eden Prairie home. When Ryan was 37, she decided to have a child via a sperm donor. “I thought: ‘You know what? I will always have a chance to get married. I won’t always have a chance to have a child,’ ” Ryan recalls.

When Nan Ryan was 5, her preschool celebrated spring Donuts with Dads day. Nan's friend leaned over as the children wrote their invitations and whispered that Nan could not come. She didn't have a dad.
