First comes love, then comes marriage, then . . . things can get a
little
complicated. Vanessa wants just one thing for her twenty-ninth birthday- an
engagement
ring from her longtime boyfriend, Eric. But when the ring turns out to be
a mix
CD and Eric turns out to be a guy who doesn't want to get married or have
children, Vanessa considers a new path to having a family. When Wendy and her husband, Darren, couldn't have children the old- fashioned
way, a sperm donor seemed like the perfect solution. She never imagined
she'd
have out-of-control twins who'd drive her to cookie binges and
scrapbooking
while Darren escaped into the virtual world of computer games. Single and career-driven, Laura didn't need a man to have a baby - at
least
not one that she ever met. Thanks to an anonymous donor, she shares her
life
with her adored eight-year-old son, Ian. She'll do anything for Ian -
even fill
their backyard with a bunch of noisy chickens. But the one thing Ian
really
wants is something Laura's never been able to give him- a sibling. Now, to grant Ian's wish, Laura starts a search that will not only
change
her life but Vanessa's and Wendy's as well...
