The contexts for becoming a parent are ever-evolving, presenting both new opportunities and unique challenges. "Becoming a Parent" delves into the transformative journey of transitioning into parenthood, focusing on the process of becoming rather than merely being a parent. Drawing from extensive theoretical frameworks and research, the book explores universal psychological experiences as well as the specific challenges encountered by individuals whose pathways to parenthood deviate from traditional or medically complex routes. It also examines the unprecedented reproductive choices prevalent in contemporary society, providing a comprehensive overview of the personal and societal implications of reproductive technologies. Pregnancy, childbirth, and the early stages of parenthood, often referred to as the "fourth trimester," are extensively discussed, accompanied by real-life case anecdotes and personal narratives of individuals facing high-risk pregnancies, fathers, mothers, adoptive parents, and members of the LGBTQ+ and heterosexual communities. The book concludes with practical social and policy initiatives aimed at fostering positive adaptation during this pivotal life transition.
