This documentary is bad. There's no narration or much character development, and you don't learn much about IVF (cost, etc.). Many scenes are just pieces of conversations that don't flow well together. My partner wanted to stop watching because it was so bad, but we kept watching in case we could learn something. No such luck. We were expecting to be entertained and learn some important things about having babies, but instead we were just disappointed.

A good look at what one couple went through to have a child. Certainly not what everyone goes through. It was fun to compare their experience with our experience.

Good documentary following a lesbian couple for approx 3 years. The first year trying to find a donor and then conceive via artificial insemination. Next year of pregnancy and all the issues that go along with that. And the first year of their child, Grace's, life. Very well done. Nice epilogue and family photos of their second child, Harry, who completes Ann and Leslie's beautiful family.
