Double Pregnant: Two Lesbians Make a Family

Girl meets girl. Girl marries girl. They want to have babies…but they need a little help. Double Pregnant is author Natalie Meisner’s light-hearted, poignant and informative true story about starting a family with her wife Viviën. Because Viviën is a woman of colour who was adopted into a white family, the couple wants their children to have a connection to their donor and decide against taking the anonymous, sperm clinic route. But they realize they are going to need some help. Taking matters into their own hands leads the couple to a series of often-hilarious “dates” with potential donors, all of whom have wildly different opinions on how the donation process should go, and how Natalie and Viviën should proceed as a new family. “Passionate and engaging account of a lesbian couple's struggle to have a family. The book is not about sexuality or gender identity; it's about love.” — Beth Everest, Writer, Professor and Editor “What an accomplishment, to have written a page turner on a subject like this that is both moving and very funny.” — Inge Fraters, Editor in Chief, KJIK Magazine & Know How Sonoma Publishing
