Routledge Reproductive Losses: Challenges to LGBTQ Family-Making - Routledge

While opportunities for LGBTQ people to become parents have increased since the 1990s, the specific hurdles faced by these families often go unnoticed. Reproductive Losses provides a necessary look at the unique reproductive challenges within the LGBTQ community. This book examines the lived experiences of miscarriage, stillbirth, infertility, sterility, and failed adoptions. Written by Craven, who brings a background in feminist anthropology and personal experience as a queer parent, this work offers a deep look into these difficult topics. The text uses detailed stories gathered from over fifty interviews with LGBTQ individuals, including those who have carried pregnancies. This research helps fill a gap in psychological and social studies regarding how LGBTQ families navigate loss and the complexities of building a family.
