If you're a Christian, skip this book. - [29 Aug 2008]
As I read this book, I honestly became more and more disgusted by the selfishness on display. The stories were filled with so many abortions, I wanted to cry. One women was blessed with twins, and then triplets, and she ended the lives of four of those...

Writing is far fetched/ unrelatable - [21 Aug 2008]
The writers here seem proud, smug, and so "me" oriented that I found them boring and unhappy. Regardless of their stance on child rearing, there seems an overwelming urge to be right rather than display any in-depth personal conversation. I was put off...

Some good writing. An interesting read, but not helpful for decision-making - [05 Aug 2008]
I picked this book up second hand. It seemed like an interesting topic. I must say that many of the stories presented were interesting pieces of non-fiction. These well-written and personal tales were a quick read but I found it really hard to relate ...

I am a young woman who is thinking a lot about having a child and what that will mean in my life. I am also in a relationship with a partner who is not as "interested" right now as I am in this huge topic. I turned to this book for "conversations" on ...

Helpful and well-written perspectives - [22 Feb 2008]
It's a compilation of short stories, so you can read it in segments. I whipped through it in two days. Most of the stories are by writers, resulting in many very well-written accounts. I felt relief knowing I'm not the only one who - at 33 - thinks "maybe...

Good book - [07 Jan 2008]
I ordered 3 books on this subject and this one was pretty good. I'd say in the middle. One was stupid and the other one was great.

The pro side does not paint a happy picture - [05 Jul 2007]
I bought this book because I'm on the fence and leaning towards no kids. Without friends and family with small children I wanted to read about how children could enrich your lives or things you might get out of having them so I liked the idea of a book...

Still confused - [23 Jun 2007]
This just wasn't the book for me. Maybe it was because it was filled with stories by writers that I couldn't easily relate to (one who decides to become sterilized at 30, one who is bipolar, one who is in jail, one who gets pregnant by a man in jail, ...
