If you are infertile this book is for you!
Having survived 10 years of infertility treatments and the social ostracism, the financial burden, the emotional scarring that come with it I wholeheartedly recommend this book. If you are beyond the treatment stage and are beginning to look at adoption vs living childfree you need to read this book. The author doesn't gloss over anything. She doesn't use flowery phrases or give pat answers. If you want to really think about your decision, this book is for you!

A much needed book about an important decision
WDYHK is a book that covers the pros and cons of parenting and non-parenting. Should be required reading for all people of reproducing age. The facts of the villainization and pressure on those who willingly chose to not reproduce are frightening. I found this book a fantastic support for the subject that is not often discussed or even thought of.....that biology is no longer destiny, and parenting is a choice that should be taken seriously.

Good look at the benefits of being childfree.
Leslie provides a good view of childfree living that is more personal than statistical. For the most part, the book is very positive, although there are parts where it's clear she feels that childree couples are victims and are somewhat slighted in society. Similar Products
