Angela Hatem’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

Hi, I’m Angela.

I am what can happen when an Irish Catholic hillbilly and a feisty Arab breed. For some it's concerning, to others humorous. You decide. ​

In my writing I try to provide insight and often humor in sometimes humorless places.​

When I am not writing I am wiping slobber off my son and checking my sweaters for spit up. Mine not his.

How I Chose a Sperm Donor—and Why It’s a Lot More Than Genetics Original

Credit: Tetra Images • Choosing a sperm donor is a deeply personal process, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. • Factors like personality traits, medical history, and shared values can help guide your decision. • Trusting your instincts and asking for help from trusted family can make the process feel more meaningful. Choosing my sperm donor wasn’t a candles, lobsters, and chocolates kind of affair.

Knowing I wouldn't be able to have another baby, I decided to give in to my son's request for a dog. Here's why I don't regret it. My 6-year-old son, Wyatt, had been asking me to “make him” a sibling. Sometimes, he'd even ask for me to marry someone with a kid so that he can gain a sibling that way. When I told him I couldn't make any promises, he started hitting me with another question: Can we get a puppy? It's a fair question, because technically, we could have a puppy.

Then IUIs with fertility medication and IUIs with injectable meds. Neither worked. After eight IUIs and no baby to speak of, I was desperate, and was told by my fertility specialist it was time for in vitro fertilization (IVF).
