Emoblopedia: Living Child-Free

Welcome to the choosing to live child-free page of the emoblopedia. While some people make the choice to live child-free prior to knowing their fertility status, the entries below are from men and women who chose living child-free as their path to resolving their infertility. In the interest of space and the fact that the emoblopedia is housed on an infertility and pregnancy loss blog, we only have entries representing this aspect of the child-free movement. We hope that you find reading these blog entries helpful and they bring you a modicum of emotional comfort. They may help you find words to express how you are feeling or show you the light at the end of the tunnel. If you have your own blog and would like to contribute to the emoblopedia, submit all links to entries to Melissa at thetowncriers@gmail.com.
