Driven by the necessity of filling the void of LGBTQIA+ inclusion in the birth world, AJ Silver, founder of @thequeerbirthclub, has written this brilliantly informative book filled with stories and experiences of LGBTQIA+ parents as well as professionals in the field. 

Including interviews with @jake_graf5, @freddy.mcconnell and Sabia Wade @theblackdoula, and covering topics such as lactation and surrogacy, this crucial guide marks a step forward for inclusivity. A must-read for any healthcare professional.
 
“There is so much to learn from AJ's book. They have packed it full of information, and all of it accessible. Each read brought me to new revelations and reflections, not only with my own practice but with what I teach and how. One to return to, continually.” 
- Mars Lord, Life Coach and Doula Educator, @_marslord
