Summary

Becoming a parent is the logical progression for individuals who have found a life mate or have decided they wish to become solo parents. Most heterosexual couples assume that pregnancy will happen when they stop using birth control. With the advent of assisted reproductive technology (ART), same-sex couples are now able to assume they too can create families. There is also a societal value to create family [1]. When the expected does not happen, there can be a variety of psychological reactions.
