As a comprehensive self-help, how-to guide for intended parents turning to surrogacy, this book, is a soup-to-nuts work that will take intended parents through the surrogacy journey from when they sign on with a surrogacy agency and a reproductive clinic, to when they are home enjoying their newborn. Many people do not know very much about gestational surrogacy and why it is an important fertility option.

It will educate, inform, and provide relief to countless readers.
Ferrara opens the book with a history of surrogacy in the United States and then leads the readers through the extraordinary ethical framework of gestational surrogacy as it is done in the United States. Further on, Ferrara meticulously explains the various stages of the surrogacy journey in detail that will assist all intended parents to organize their thoughts and plans to have children through surrogacy. As Dr. Doyle asserts, this book is authored by "one of the most trusted and admired surrogacy attorneys in the United States."
