About the Book

JAIMIE KELTON and ROBIN HOPKINS, the creators and hosts of the popular podcast If These Ovaries Could Talk, realized the world needed to know there was more than one way to make an LGBTQ family. Each of their families came about in different ways, so how many other stories were out there? Turns out, lots. Inspired, the two friends launched their podcast asking LGTBQ families every question imaginable about their journeys to parenthood. Now the two hosts have written a book based on dozens of interviews to help address recurring questions that came up during their podcast. With insights and stories from guests such as StaceyAnn Chin, Judy Gold, and State Senator Zach Wahls, Jaimie and Robin go humorously in-depth and guide you on a journey that is equal parts funny, serious, happy, sad, celebratory, cautionary, and powerful. You can read this book cover-to-cover or skip around like your very own LGBTQ choose your own baby adventure book. You’ll learn a lot and laugh even more along the way! Who knew making a baby could be this much fun?

— Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO of GLADD

"I love this book. It's funny. It's heartwarming. It's endearing. And it's eye-opening in terms of what LGBTQ folks go through to make a family. But it's also really relevant to people like me who've gone through the fertility process at a doctor's office."
— Amy Schumer

“Robin and Jaimie have put together a masterpiece. It’s funny. It’s informative. It’s brutally honest.”
— Judy Gold

"It's poignant, funny, beautiful and talks about what truly makes a family. Read. Listen."

“The book highlights a wide array of different people and couples who share their family building journey. While many of the stories feature LGBTQ families that range from funny to moving, the book highlights just how much a family is a family no matter how they began.”
— Jennifer Palumbo, Forbes

“Robin and Jaimie are a delight. And their book is so insightful and helpful and… it just makes you feel not alone. Even if you are not a member of the LGBTQ community, I guarantee you, you will find moments in this book that you relate to and that you can share."
