Baby making for everybody
family building and fertility for LGBTQ+ and solo parents
Book - 2023
"In Baby Making for Everybody, queer millennial midwives Ray Rachlin and Marea Goodman use their professional expertise to demystify the dizzying process of pursuing parenthood as queer and solo people, offering concrete, gender-affirming advice on topics like tracking fertility, choosing a sperm donor, legal considerations, IVF, IUI, adoption, navigating gender and pregnancy, and more. The result is a much-needed how-to guide for every aspect of the complicated, messy, and glorious process of building a family as an LGBTQ+ or solo parent. Combining practical information with personal narratives and first person community wisdom, this book provides prospective parents with the information they need to grow their families outside of a traditional heterosexual nuclear family model"--
