Contact: future- man@ade|phia.net Call for Essay Proposals on the Queer Fertility Journey. I am collect- ing people's experiences about the queer fertility journey to create what I hope will be a published anthology. There is of course, no one “fertility journey" for lesbians, gay men, bisexual and transgendered people. It is my hope that this anthology will create a pastiche of diverse queer successes, challenges and struggles with the ‘'fertility’’ journey (adoption, insemination, fostering, surrogacy, etc.).
