![]() Most
prospective parents, when arriving at the decision to have children,
presume their journey will be an exciting and rewarding one, resulting
in the birth of a healthy baby. When those dreams are shattered by their
inability to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term, they ask, “Why
me? What did I do wrong?
In Creating Life Against The Odds, Dr. Lonny Higgins has gathered
numerous firsthand accounts from individuals around the world who have
traversed the maze of infertility treatment. What have been these parents’
misgivings? Is it God’s will that they should be barren? Are they
selfish to want to bring another child into a world where there are
already too many mouths to feed? She also takes us into the minds and
hearts of donors looking into what makes them want to lend such an intimate,
helping hand, not just to a relative or friend, but to a complete stranger.
Are they like organ donors? Do they do it for financial gain? Is it
just naivete? And what about the children? Whose children are they,
really? When assisted reproductive technology enters the picture, who
are the real parents? What do the children say about how they came to
be? |
