How to Make a Baby

“How to Make a Baby is a warm, honest, and empowering guide for LGBTQ+ families navigating the fertility journey. Allie and Sam share their personal experience with humor, heart, and clarity, making space for anyone who has ever felt like they didn’t quite belong in the fertility world. This book is the supportive friend and trusted resource we all need.”

—Dr. Aimee D. Eyvazzadeh, MPH, reproductive endocrinologist and host of The Egg Whisperer Show

“Allie and Sam not only share their beautiful path to becoming parents, but do so in a way that is equal parts informative and moving. A must-read for families trying to conceive and for those that want to see parts of their own story represented and reflected.”

—Rachael Lippincott, New York Times bestselling author of She Gets the Girl

“Open, frank, touching, and informative… Allie and Sam Conway are the perfect couple to write this groundbreaking book. Their journey is remarkable. I wish I’d had it when we went through IVF.”

—J.T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author of It’s One of Us

Allie and Sam are a same-sex couple who has been together for nearly a decade. Their story started on a dating app, like any modern love story.

They started sharing their life online as a way to keep their families updated on their adventures around the globe together, but it quickly became a way to share much-needed queer representation; to showcase that a happy, full life is possible as an out and proud LGBTQ+ person.

They have been blessed with an amazing, engaged online community over their more than six years of sharing their lives on the internet. They have also done public speaking engagements about various LGBTQ+ issues in schools, for non-profits, and for major brands. They live in Nova Scotia.
