Baby Making for Everybody demystifies the dizzying process of pursuing parenthood as queer and solo people, offering detailed, gender-affirming, body-positive advice on topics including fertility tracking, choosing a donor or surrogate, legal considerations, navigating pregnancy and gender identity, fertility procedures, foster parenting and adoption, and miscarriage and infertility.
