From the publisher

To breed or not to breed? That is the question twenty-eight accomplished writers--including Anne Lamott, Rick Moody, Kathryn Harrison, and Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez--ponder in this collection of provocative, honest, and deeply personal essays. Based on a popular series at Salon.com, Maybe Baby features parents and nonparents alike exploring how and why they decided whether to have children.

This powerful collection offers both frank and nuanced looks at those choices, both alternative and traditional, from a wide range of viewpoints. From abortion to adoption, from ambivalence to baby lust, from single parenting to searching for the right partner to have a baby with, Maybe Baby brings together the full force of opinions about this national--but also intensely personal--debate.

First line

WHEN PEOPLE LEARN THAT I'M IN MY LATE TWENTIES, happily married, and am not planning to have children, they respond in one of two ways.
