Author: Bolt, Stacy

Condition: New

Breeding in Captivity takes us on Stacy Bolts journey to have a child at "advanced maternal age," first with the help of a Really Expensive fertility specialist, and then ultimately through a local adoption agency. But this isnt your typical serious memoir about struggling with infertility; its an entertaining, witty read that perfectly balances humor with its more poignant moments. Breeding in Captivity is about a quirky, lovable couple that you root for through their fertility struggles and adoption adventures. It's about the hundreds of Internet message boards where annoyingly perky women from Kappa Alpha Fruitcake refer to sex as "babydancing" and sprinkle virtual "baby dust" on each other. Its about meeting birthmothers and deciding on open adoptions. Its about being chosen and then having a birthmother change her mind. But ultimately, its about hope, how life can surprise you, and laughing through the insanity.
