I am a birthmother. This collection of letters has opened my eyes to the pain of infertility. This book has made it possible for me to understand that the pain infertile women have is exactly opposite from the pain I have, which coincidently, makes us very similar. I only wish I could write to the two women who wrote it.

I read this book about 12 years ago when I was going through infertility. I was very distraught and reading what these two women were going through help me to not feel so alone. I've since adopted a beautiful daughter and had a surprise biological daughter 7 years later. I went through almost everything these two women went through emotionally and physically. I have always remembered this book fondly.

I am so sorry to see this excellent book is out of print. I loaned my copy to a woman I'm counseling and she said it was the best book she's ever read on surviving infertility. Well worth searching out, and I'll contact the authors to urge their publisher to bring it back! Carol Frost Vercollone, infertility counselor & author of Helping the Stork.
