In recent years, after having experienced some severe Women's Reproductive Health issues and circumstances that seriously impacted both my own health and capacity to have children, I founded a support group for other Women who were also experiencing similar physical, psychological, financial and circumstantial difficulties with becoming Biological Parents...and were considering "what next?" I compiled and have recently updated the following resource list to better reflect primary scientific and current secondary perspectives on the current world state of infertility and circumstantial issues impacting the capacity of people to have kids at present. Plus provided some perspectives on how other people (of multiple genders and orientations) have found meaning, purpose and happiness beyond their past circumstances that negatively impacted their capacity to become biological parents.
