Review # 1 was written on 2019-04-24 00:00:00 Sean Toy I picked this book up from the Brookline Library on impulse and found it well worth the read. Quick, concise, friendly, positive and not at all dry, Planning Parenthood offers an overview of various methods of creating a family for everyone -not just upper middle class heterosexual couples. Reading this book made my goal of adopting seem more feasible, and reviewing the charts and graphs allowed me to consider, in a more realistic way, how my age will affect my chances of producing a birth child (contrary to popular culture's assertions that women over 35 should just throw in the towel)! Also useful are the suggested reading lists and websites.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-07-31 00:00:00 sbsmwra YgKMkJmMZwOVXZRqRG Very, very straightforward presentation of the facts surrounding assisted reproduction and adoption. This is a book for someone who's been trying on her own for over a year and doesn't know what her options are next. There's a little blurb at the end of each chapter written by a parent who chose one of the many methods in the book, from IVF to surrogacy to International adoption...this is the only touchy-feely stuff in the book, and the only thing that keeps it from being entirely dry. Good for people who want the facts without having to Google 8 million topics.
