Finally…A Children’s Book about IVF
In vitro fertilization is complicated. It needs to be talked about. And not just at the grownup’s table. Children need to know about IVF and that it’s OK to ask questions. Because if it is going on with someone they trust, knowing can help in so many ways.

The IVF Bond
