Living Child Free resources

Just putting this out there for what it's worth. DH and I were struggling to decide if we wanted to adopt, use donor options, or live child free so we saw a psychologist who specializes in this kind of stuff. She gave us a ton of books, websites, etc. - these are the ones related to Child Free living"

Thank you for this! It's exactly what I was looking for.

Yes, thank you. I'm still entertaining the small hopes of having a child but after not even getting through a medicated IUI cycle (X2) due to lack of response I'm really feeling hopeless and wondered if there was some reading material that would help me to come to terms with living childless. I know it will never be able to take the pain away but maybe some help. Today is a bad day so I will leave it at that.

Thanks
