One of the search phrases that lead people to my blog is the phrase, “Can IVF be forgiven?” I find this an interesting phrase and it’s a complex scenario. What I find very sad in this question is that someone must feel that this cannot be forgiven; which tells me, they also feel that IVF…

First Catholic Book on Miscarriage
My article was finally released! The interview was a blessing and Makena wrote so eloquently about the first Catholic miscarriage book, Donum Dignitatis: The Catholic’s Guide to Miscarriage. I will admit I am nervous when interviews and articles come out. They open me up to criticism and I just don’t handle that well. I’m praying…
Chemical Pregnancy

Where Are My Babies? – Limbo
Many of you know, I’m in the process of completing my next book, “The Catholic’s Guide to Miscarriage,” and I have been researching many topics.
