Summary
The couple who has read this book should now be better informed about how pregnancy occurs and have a better understanding of the various aspects of ART. They also should understand that, in the twenty-first century, there are many ways of parenting and several possibilities for kinship. We have got used to couples divorcing and re-coupling, and of having stepparents and stepchildren.
