Trying : women and men speak openly about the journey to make a family / edited by Carrie Durkee Immler & Nancy Shohet West.

"Once upon a time, getting pregnant was a matter of fate. Today, adults who want to become parents - women and men, single and partnered, straight and gay - have a range of options when pregnancy doesn't happen naturally. But with all that advanced reproductive technology comes choices and decisions - some straightforward, some far more complicated. In this collection, fifteen women and men candidly discuss what it took for them to achieve their dream of becoming parents and offer words of inspiration and encouragement to those who are still trying."--From publisher.
