Featured in The Washington Post and The New York Times

Baby or Childfree? Which will it Be? Is this decision keeping you up at night? Do you feel terrified you will regret your decision? Are you paralyzed by this high-stakes choice?

Now you can get off the fence and get on with your life. Imagine your relief when you discover the right choice and break free from obsession. Picture yourself enjoying the pleasures of parenthood or the freedom and spontaneity of living childfree.

The Baby Decision is a powerful, unbiased guidebook by a professional coach/psychotherapist who has specialized in the topic for forty years.

With wisdom, depth and humor Merle will help you take this overwhelming decision and break it down into a digestible sequence of five steps.

During this discovery process you will:

Dissolve fear and doubt. Use thirty visualization exercises and thought experiments to uncover your answer. Have deep talks with your partner, even if you disagree. Resist pressures from family and friends, and fully consider the rewards of the childfree choice. Learn the latest on one-child families, single, LGBTQI+ and older parents, fertility and adoption. Steal a few benefits from the opposite choice. Merle Bombardieri, MSW, LICSW is a psychotherapist, coach and workshop leader. Although she enjoyed raising her daughters, she has been a childfree advocate since 1978. She has contributed to Our Bodies Ourselves, The Boston Globe Magazine, Glamour, Self and Brides and has appeared on national news, talk show, and documentaries.
