This study aimed to understand the psychosocial effects of temporary infertility by stress in women. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study with qualitative and exploratory approach. The approach used in this study included conducting interviews with ten women who had proven diagnosis of temporary infertility by stress, the analysis of the interviews was based on the perspective of Grounded Theory. After transcription and subsequent analysis of the interviews, explanatory categories that emerged from the speeches of the interviewees were: No biological problems, undiagnosed; Impacts on social relationships; Impacts on the marital relationship; and the dream realized and future action. The results showed that the numbers of years of infertility treatment more positively also negatively influenced the lives of these women generating psychosocial stress. This study allowed the understanding of the psychosocial effects of temporary infertility by stress in women, which may contribute to work teams in developing strategies to support these, however there is the consistent data literature related to the subject, even in modern times whose infertility problem already set as a public health problem with increasing incidence in the world population.
O presente estudo objetivou compreender as repercussões psicossociais da infertilidade temporária por estresse em mulheres. Trata-se de um estudo transversal descritivo com abordagem qualitativa e exploratória. O procedimento metodológico utilizado nesse estudo compreendeu a realização de entrevistas com dez mulheres, que não apresentavam problema que impedisse a gestação mais tinham infertilidade temporária, a análise das entrevistas se baseou na perspectiva da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados. Após a transcrição e posterior análise das entrevistas, as categorias explicativas que surgiram dos discursos das entrevistadas foram: sem problemas biológicos, sem diagnóstico; repercussões nas relações sociais; repercussões na relação conjugal; e o sonho realizado e providências futuras. Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que os anos de tratamento de infertilidade influenciaram positivamente, mas também negativamente na vida dessas mulheres, gerando estresse psicossocial. Esse estudo permitiu a compreensão acerca das repercussões psicossociais da infertilidade temporária por estresse em mulheres, que pode contribuir para equipes de trabalho na elaboração de estratégias para o apoio a essas, entretanto não há na literatura dados consistentes relacionados ao tema, mesmo em tempos atuais cujo problema da infertilidade já se configura como um problema de saúde pública com crescente incidência na população mundial.

Full textAbstract:
Parenthood is a life goal for the majority of individuals and couples who have reached a certain life stage. For many couples parenthood is, however, not a reality through expected means. Statistics gathered, in an unpublished information document, by the Port Elizabeth Infertility and Wellness Clinic, it is estimated that 10 to 15% of all married couples in the region experience infertility. After failed infertility treatment, adoption is considered an option for many couples wishing to have children. The social worker plays an integral role in the assessment and preparation for adoption. However, there is no legislated preparation for the fertility treatment process as there is for adoption in South Africa, yet both processes are intended to result in parenthood shadowed by stressful circumstances for prospective parents. The study explored the experiences of couples who have transitioned from being diagnosed as infertile and have successfully adopted. The study was conducted from a qualitative research perspective and employed the exploratory-descriptive strategy of inquiry. Purposive sampling was applied and eight married couples participated in the study. The participants were sourced from a support and information network for adoptive families as well as referrals from social workers working within the adoption field. Semi-structured interviews were conducted by an independent interviewer with thematic analysis being used for data analysis. Trustworthiness constructs were taken into account to ensure reliability and rigour. The major findings revealed the distinctive experiences regarding fertility treatment, the experiences regarding adoption and suggestions from couples for couples facing similar situations as well as for professionals in practice. The study is viewed as significant in guiding professional services to couples, who are intending to achieve parenthood via adoption, by adding to the body of existing knowledge in adoption and medical social work.

Full textAbstract:
This study analyzes the narratives of 38 married, heterosexual, infertile adoptive parents. It asks how parents use narrative to reconcile a presumed reluctance to adopt with presumed satisfaction with adoption, and if there are differences in the narratives of men and women.
Qualitative analysis reveals that participants place recollections of suffering within redemptive sequences, reinterpreting difficult experiences as leading to personal growth and transformation, which in turn leads to greater connection with others. A majority of participants find profound retrospective meaning in a belief in fate and describe a greater appreciation for their children and for life itself as a result of their experiences.
Women were identified as the protagonists of the stories in the majority of cases by both husband and wife. When women were the protagonists men tended to worry about their wives, view her suffering and her path to motherhood as central to the story, and to easily give up control of the adoption process. When men were the protagonist or couples viewed themselves as equal protagonists, the process involved both partners.
The only theme that participants had a difficult time interpreting was that of race. Pals' (2006) transformational processing model was adapted to rate participants' sense of resolution regarding race. For same-race adopters resolution was associated with placing desire for a same-race child in a broader belief system, while for transracial adopters it was associated with comfort with the community of the child's birth, a belief that one could grow into dealing with race, and a belief in fate. Unresolved same-race adopters felt judged, experienced identity threat, and were inarticulate about race. One group of unresolved transracial adopters paid little attention to race at the time of adoption and later struggled with it, while another group had difficulty discussing race at all, minimized its importance, and often contradicted themselves.
The narratives are analyzed in the context of white racial experience in the United States and to discover the personal, cultural and ecological factors that contribute to a person's ability to engage in autobiographical reasoning (Habermas & Bluck, 2000) and tell a "good story" (McAdams, 2008).

Full textAbstract:
Infertility affects 1 in 8 couples and the literature discusses the emotional effects infertility has on an individual. One option for infertility is to attempt medical interventions and the literature in the field does not explain why some people attempt more interventions than others. Using data from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), Cycle 6, this quantitative study aims to understand the relationship between traditional gender roles and values and the attempted number of medical interventions by individuals within a relationship experiencing infertility. The results from this study indicate that both males and females that are in relationship experiencing infertility are more likely to attempt medical interventions when they highly value the meaning of family, rather than their views on traditional gender roles and values for men and women.

La région AZFc du bras long du chromosome Y est une des régions les moins stables du génome humain. Elle est composée de multiples palindromes entraînant différents types de réarrangements, dont certains seraient associés à l'infertilité masculine. Nous avons recherché les microréarrangements d'AZFc dans 2 populations : 344 hommes infertiles et 136 hommes d'une population contrôle (119 normospermiques et 17 présentant une azoospermie de type obstructif). Nous avons observé une fréquence élevée de remaniements génomiques (8,7%), avec des fréquences de délétions et de duplications similaires dans les deux populations. Les remaniements ont ensuite été caractérisés au niveau des gènes DAZ et CDY1 et au niveau des haplogroupes du chromosome Y. Nous avons également étudié l'expression des gènes de la famille DAZ par RT-PCR [reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction] quantitative « en temps réel» à partir de 30 biopsies testiculaires présentant des situations d'infertilité masculine bien identifiées. Différents profils d'expression ont été obtenus en fonction des gènes et des pathologies de la fertilitéThe AZFc region on the Y chromosome long arm is one of the most unstable regions in the human genome. It consists almost entirely of very long repeats, is prone to rearrangement and some of them have been reported to be associated with male infertility. We screened two populations: 344 infertile patients and 136 controls for AZFc microrearrangements and we observed a high frequency of genomic rearrangements with similar frequency of deletions and duplications in both populations. Rearrangements were then characterized using DAZ and CDY 1 genes analyses and Y chromosome haplogroup determination. We also studied DAZ gene family expression by "real time" quantitative RT-PCR [reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction] from 30 testicular biopsies presenting distinct histological pictures. Different expression profiles were obtained according to the gene tested and the fertility status

This dissertation aims to evidence the assisted reproduction like a way of maintaining "traditional" relationships of the modern nuclear family, centered on love, on affection, on idea of the couple’s "plan", which connects parents to their children, and in blood and family name categories. The research, conducted in 2017 and 2018, in the small town of Marechal Cândido Rondon / PR, focused on the lived experience by eight women ando ne man who used technological reproductive methods such as the artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization. These methods operate aggressively in their bodies of these women by intensive use of medicalization, but does not question how the techniques are disclosed and marketed. As a methodological strategy, in addition to analytical and bibliographic references about the subject, the construction of data was done through unstructured interviews and other sources obtained on websites and social networks like the facebook. The argument is that, for these women and their families, the Assisted Reproduction "corrects" the infertility and yours stigmatizing effects and, above all, leads to the realization of the biogenetic parental project, reinforcing the family nucleus composed by father, mother and biological child.
Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar a reprodução assistida como um meio de manter relacionamentos “tradicionais” da família nuclear moderna, centrada no amor, no afeto, na ideia de “projeto” do casal, que liga os pais a seus filhos, e nas categorias do sangue e do nome de família. A pesquisa, realizada nos anos de 2017 e 2018, no pequeno município de Marechal Cândido Rondon/PR, centrou-se na experiência vivida por oito mulheres e um homem que utilizaram meios reprodutivos tecnológicos como a inseminação artificial e a fertilização in vitro. Esses métodos intervêm agressivamente sobre os corpos dessas mulheres pelo uso intensivo de medicalização, não sendo questionado por elas o modo como as técnicas são divulgadas e mercantilizadas. Como estratégia metodológica, além das referências analíticas e bibliográficas sobre o tema, a construção de dados foi feita por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e de outras fontes obtidas em sites da internet e nas redes sociais como o Facebook. O argumento apresentado é que, para essas mulheres e suas famílias, a reprodução assistida “corrige” a infertilidade e seus efeitos estigmatizantes e, sobretudo, conduz à realização do projeto parental biogenético, reforçando o núcleo familiar composto por pai, mãe e filho biológico.

Full textAbstract:
Introdução: O gene p63 é o mais ancentral membro dos integrantes da família p53 e é descrito como o responsável pela manutenção da integridade gênica e regulação do ciclo celular em células germinativas imaturas. Porém, ainda não há relatos na literatura que avaliem sua expressão em células da granulosa luteinizadas. A endometriose é uma doença crônica que está associada à infertilidade. Vários mecanismos foram propostos para explicar esta associação, mas, até o momento, nenhum deles é considerado definitivo. Objetivos: O objetivo desse estudo é avaliar a expressão do gene e da proteína p63 em células da granulosa luteinizadas de pacientes inférteis submetidas à fertilização in vitro (IVF). Além disso, verificar se pacientes com endometriose apresentam função anormal da p63. Métodos: Realizamos um estudo transversal e prospectivo. Nós coletamos células da granulosa de 28 pacientes submetidas a IVF para avaliar a expressão de p63. Depois, para estudar o efeito na endometriose dividimos em dois grupos: (1) grupo estudo (n=9): pacientes com diagnóstico videolaparoscópico de endometriose e (2) grupo controle (n=19): pacientes inférteis por outros motivos, sem endometriose. As células coletadas foram preparadas e analisadas para expressão gênica (PCR em tempo real) e expressão proteica (imunofluorescência). Os resultados foram comparados entre os grupos. Resultados: Não observamos diferença significativa de expressão do gene p63 entre os grupos estudados. A mediana do 2-ΔΔCT no grupo controle foi 0,93 (IC 95%, 0,55- 2,83) e 0,88 no grupo em estudo (IC 95%, 0,24-2,84). O resultado também mostrou que o gene p63 não é expresso nos dois grupos. Quanto à expressão da proteína p63, a imunofluorescência não demonstrou expressão em nenhum dos dois grupos. Conclusão: O gene e a proteína p63 podem ser muito importantes na manutenção da integridade gênica de folículos imaturos de reserva, não dependentes de FSH. Porém, após o recrutamento e crescimento folicular, não se observa mais sua expressão, ou seja, ele não faz parte da maturação e desenvolvimento oocitário.Introduction: The p63 gene is the most ancient member of the components of p53 family and is described as the responsible for maintaining of genic integrity and cell cycle regulation in immature germ cells. However, there are no reports in the literature evaluating its expression in granulosa cells luteinized. Endometriosis is a chronic disease that is associated with infertility. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this association, but so far, none of them is considered definitive. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the expression of the p63 gene and protein in granulosa luteinized cells of infertile patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). Also, we checked whether patients with endometriosis have abnormal function of p63. Methods: We performed a prospective cross-sectional study. We collected granulosa cells of 28 patients undergoing IVF to evaluate p63 expression. Then, to study the effect on endometriosis, they were divided into two groups: (1) study group (n = 9): patients with laparoscopic diagnosis of endometriosis and (2) control group (n = 19): infertile patients for other reasons, without endometriosis . The collected cells were prepared and analyzed for gene expression (real time PCR) and protein expression (immunofluorescence). The results were compared between the groups. Results: There was no significant difference in expression of the p63 gene between the groups. The median of 2-ΔΔCT in the the control group was 0.93 (95% CI, 0.55 to 2.83) and 0.88 in the study group (95% CI, 0.24 to 2.84). The results also showed that the p63 gene is not expressed in granulosa cells in both groups. About to the p63 protein expression, immunofluorescence showed no expression in either group. Conclusion: The p63 gene and protein can be very important in maintaining the genic integrity of immature reserve follicles, not dependent of FSH. However, after the recruitment and follicular growth is not more observed its expression, suggesting that p63 is not part of control of oocyte maturation and development.

Full textAbstract:
Research on involuntary childlessness and adoption among heterosexuals is primarily focused on women's needs and perceptions. Consequently, little is known about how men view childlessness and adoption, and less is known about Black men's perceptions. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore Black heterosexual men's experiences of considering adoption when involved in an involuntarily childless relationship. Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory served as a foundation for this study. Data were derived from semi structured interviews with 7 participants and 3 adoption professionals. Transcribed and coded data were analyzed using MAXQDA 2018, a qualitative data analysis software. Initial codes were drawn deductively, by use of recurrent codes in published literature, and inductively, from an initial reading of the data. Themes were identified among codes, then placed within one of three broad categories: adoption perceptions, childlessness and adoption consideration experiences, and adoption consideration influences. The study results showed that couple difficulty in resolving adoption differences; gender nuances in the adoption decision-making journey; overwhelming social pressure to father children; limited social support; and silence, inaction, or procrastination surrounding adoption were common features of most male experiences. This study has implications for positive social change, as the findings can inform adoption recruiters' outreach program content and methodology. Family counselors will derive insight into multiple issues surrounding involuntarily childless Black couples to provide them with effective conflict resolution intervention.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate and describe the experience of infertility of African women, men and family member. It is hoped that this description will contribute to a deeper
understanding of the psychosocial difficulties involved in the area of infertility and ofthe ways in which people respond to the situation of infertility. A qualitative research approach was used, and in particular social constructivist-interpretive research and feminist research approaches. The sample consisted of39 participants: 19 women,
10 men, and 10 family members faced with infertility. The research orientation was field-based, concerned with collecting data using the technique of in-depth semi-structured interviews. Each participant was interviewed individually. The interviews were recorded on tape, transcribed in their full length and translated into English. Data were
analysed on the basis of the interpretive feminist approach. Analysis of individual cases and crosscase analysis were employed.
The findings suggested a contextual definition of infertility, for example, for some, having had an ectopic pregnancy or a miscarriage meant that they did not fit into the definition of infertility. The
findings revealed that for many African women and men, blood ties still defined the family and the persona. Thus, failure to have a blood child resulted in courtship and marital break up, extramarital
relationships, polygamy, and divorce and remarriage.
Infertility had serious psychosocial consequences for both the infertile individuals and their families. Participants experienced repeated periods of existential crisis, which began at different points for different participants. Analysis of gender differences indicated similarities in the experience of the crisis, but differences in terms of expression and ways of responding to the crisis. Family dynamics within the context of infertility were coloured by ambivalent feelings, resentment, insensitivity, and miscommunication, but also affection, and social support. Traditional and modern medical health systems offered the possibility of finding explanations and treatment, but
there was further strain from the negative experiences with the health care system. The findings in this study suggested the need for policy reformulation, for psychosocial intervention as part of the treatment plan, and for future research on the outcome of using various
coping strategies.Psychology

A study to determine the prevalence of infertility in females in a patient population attending a general practice in Katlehong was done over seven weeks in 1985. In this study 40.6% out of a total of 143 patients interviewed were found to be infertile. Contributing factors to infertility included an advanced age of patients and use of intra-uterine contraceptive devices. Pelvic inflammatory diseases, fibroid uteri, fixed retroverted uteri and a poor socio-economic status of patients were also found to be associated with infertility. The above factors associated with infertility in females are discussed and recommendations directed to the reduction of infertility are submitted.Thesis (M.Med.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1987.

The study explored the narratives of three adoptive couples. The participants were selected using criterion based convenience and snowball sampling. The adoptive couples’ data was captured through written narratives and/or individual or joint semi-structured interviews. The data was then analysed by means of thematic analysis conducted from the perspective of second order cybernetics. The results note the participants’ experiences of their infertility threatened their functioning as a couple. However, this threat to the couples’ functioning was limited by the adoptions through two means. First, the adoptions limited the couples’ communication about their infertility. Second, the adoptions allowed the couples to continue functioning as a couple dedicated to the goal of becoming parents. Differences between the participant couples’ experiences surrounded their interactions with social workers; their selection of support structures; their interaction with external systems; as well as their anxiety towards the individuation of the adopted child.Psychology

Full textAbstract:
Le contexte social dans lequel s’inscrivent le désir d’enfant et la procréation en Occident s’est profondément transformé au cours des dernières décennies. Après l’introduction de la contraception et l’augmentation du nombre d’enfants nés hors mariage, le développement des nouvelles techniques reproductives et de l’adoption, notamment l’adoption internationale, ont à leur tour contribué à la transformation des cadres dans lesquels s’inscrivent les relations de parenté et la formation des familles.
À partir de l’étude de témoignages de couples québécois dont les échecs successifs en procréation médicalement assistée (PMA) ont mené à la décision d’adopter, cette thèse interroge les multiples dimensions qu’implique un tel type de trajectoire. Sur le plan social, tant la procréation médicalement assistée que l’adoption nécessitent l’intervention d’une tierce partie pour concrétiser et faire reconnaître l’établissement du lien filiatif, soit la médecine dans le cas de la PMA et celle des autorités juridiques et gouvernementales dans le cas de l’adoption. Les deux phénomènes mettent également en scène des situations et des enjeux hautement révélateurs des valeurs et des représentations collectives en matière de parenté et de famille. D’un premier abord, le type de parcours étudié semble illustrer le passage entre deux sphères complètement distinctes: celle de la nature et du biologique incarnée par la PMA et celle de la culture et du lien social incarnée par l’adoption. Or, l’étude des trajectoires des participants donne à voir une situation beaucoup plus complexe où s’entremêlent un ensemble d’explications et de facteurs relatifs au désir d’enfant, à la famille, à la parentalité qui ne font sens qu’une fois replacés dans le contexte des grandes tendances sociales et idéologiques qui traversent notre société. Plus globalement, les analyses proposées dans cette thèse participent au développement d’une anthropologie de la parenté qui tienne compte des dynamiques et des tensions qui touchent la famille moderne.The social context surrounding reproduction and the desire for children in the West has undergone a profound transformation in recent decades. Following the introduction of contraception and the increase in the number of children born out of wedlock, the development of new reproductive technologies and adoption, particularly international adoption, has in turn contributed to transforming the frameworks surrounding kinship and the formation of families. Based on the testimonials of Québec couples whose successive failures in medically assisted procreation (MAP) have led them to the decision to adopt, this thesis examines the multiple dimensions involved in this type of trajectory. Socially, both AR and adoption require the intervention of a third party to establish and legitimize filiation: the medical profession in the case of AR, and legal and government authorities in the case of adoption. Both phenomena also put into play situations and issues that are highly revealing of values and collective representations regarding kinship and the family. At first glance, the type of path studied seems to illustrate a transition between two completely separate spheres: that of nature and biology embodied by AR, and that of culture and social relations embodied by adoption. However, the study of the participants’ trajectories reveals a much more complex situation in which a set of explanations and factors related to the desire for children, the family, and parenthood intertwine and make sense only when viewed in the context of the major social and ideological trends that our society is undergoing. More generally, the analyses proposed in this thesis contribute to the development of an anthropology of kinship that accounts for the dynamics and tensions that affect the modern family.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to investigate of the essence of family stress experience of patients who were hospitalized for to infertility therapy with severe Ovarian Hyperstimulation Symdrome（OHSS）.This study was based on the family systems theory（Montgomery & Fewer,1988）and contextual model of family stress （Boss,1988）, and used the Colaizzi’s phenomenological approach to investigate family stress experience from couple’s perspectives. The subjects were purposely chosen from a medical center in Taipei .The criteria for choosing the cases were：women who received infertility therapy with severe Ovarian Hyperstimulation Symdrome；the infertility couple without any physio-psychological problems；The sample sizes were determined by the saturation principle of phenomenology. No new theme were emerged after the 10 couples interview data was analyzed. The research tools included the demographic character of the case’s general information and semi-structured interview guideline .The interviewed date were analyzed by the Colaizzi’s phenomenological approach. The trustworthness were examined by Lincoln & Guba（1985）principles. The result of this study showed that the family stress experience included 6 dimensions：（1）infertility stress（2）physio-psychological stress for infertility therapy（3）family life disturbance （4）social isolation （5）coping pattens toward family balance（6）The experience of disclosure of pregnant result . These findings provides a scientific knowledge base for family nursing is regarding to release their family stress and promote family health. Key words：infertility theraphy, severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, family stress experience, phenomenology.

M.A. (Social Work)This research deals with the structuring, empirical testing and finalising of a model for the evaluation of the degree to which adoptive parents have accepted their infertility. The practice model provides guidelines for the assessment of the extent of acceptance of infertility on the part of prospective adoptive parents. Guidelines are also given for the provision of assistance to infertile couples within the boundaries of social care. This study does not pretend to provide the ultimate solution to the question of evaluation, but serves only as a social work orientated set of guidelines for evaluation ...

in the School of Psychology, University of Zululand, 2007The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychological impact of infertility on well-being. This study has been contextualized within the broader public health paradigm which re-establishes a balanced view of both illness prevention and health promotion. This study was conducted in the Durban area of Kwa-Zulu Natal. The nature of the research is concerned with the emotional experience of infertile women with regard to positive relations with others, autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, purpose in life and self-acceptance. Date was collected as a quantitative component using Ryffs 3-item Psychological Weil-Being Scale (PWB). Fifty-six women who had been diagnosed with infertility and who were undergoing fertility treatment participated in the study (n=56). The age of the participants was between twenty-nine and fifty-five years. Ninety-eight percent (98.2%) of the participants resided in the cities of KwaZulu-Natal, while less than two percent (1.8%) were rural dwellers. Approximately sixty-six percent (66.1%) of the participants were from nuclear families, while approximately thirty-three percent (33.9%) came from extended families. Conclusion and recommendations for future research Statistical analysis revealed that the overall results were statistically non-significant. The correlation between self-acceptance and duration of infertility revealed the only significant result in this study (p=0.004), highlighting the emotions of dissatisfaction and disappointment with self as a result of prolonged fertility difficulties. The correlation between purpose in life and duration of infertility in years showed to be approaching statistical significance (p=0.021). Disappointment and loss of hope seem to be the products of continued failed attempts of conceiving. This is seen as causing severe insult to self-assessed femininity, as well as further stress, anxiety and depression (Domar, 2004). It is recommended that studies of this nature should include a larger sample, specifically from the rural area, as well divide the sample into racial groups and consider a control group. This is likely to yield more accurate and valid findings. A further recommendation would be to examine the participants' belief systems and explore alternate treatment modalities targeting infertility. Possible limitations of the study Only patients diagnosed with infertility, mostly from the city, participated in the study. The sample size was also not large enough to generalize the findings and offer an accurate representation of the population. The nature of questionnaire required that participants answer several questions pertaining to sensitive personal issues, which may have caused participants to answer in a more socially desirable manner, causing possible inaccuracy in findings.

The third chapter deals with various methods of artificial reproduction. The following chapter is about ethical challenges related to these methods. The fifth chapter presents the standpoint of the magisterium of the Catholic Church. The final chapter tries to see fertility and parenthood from a larger perspective: the principal alternatives are substitute family care and spiritual parenthood.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis deals with the dilemma of the believer and the position of the Catholic Church on assisted reproduction. It describes the origins of human life, reflections on its origins, and mentions the need for its protection and the preservation of dignity, as well as referring to the Church's view of its creation in marriage. It points out the issue of infertility and possible ways of its solution, including assisted reproduction. There is emphasized the rejection of the Catholic Church's assisted reproduction and its thorough explanation from the churches of the documents. The final chapter offers possible solutions to fulfilling the desire for a child that are morally acceptable, including both the methods of natural parenting planning and the possibility of alternative family care but also the accepting the fact of childlessness.
