The Intersection Between Infertility and Religion

RESOLVE provides faith-based leaders and members with resources about the intersection between infertility and religion that will help navigate conversations around infertility and family building..

With infertility becoming less of a taboo subject, more people are speaking out about their experience with infertility and building their families through Assisted Reproduction Technologies (ART), adoption, and third-party reproduction. Religion leaders are often very respected figures in their communities. Whether they realize it or not, they can often play a role in supporting and educating followers about the infertility experience as it relates to their faith.
