In this country, it is a particular experience, a rite of passage, if you will, that is unsupported for the most part, and rather ignored. Somebody will send you a couple of presents for the baby, but people do not acknowledge the massive experience to the parents involved.”

“Although my parents have never been the kind to hint around about grandchildren, I can think of no better tribute to them than giving them some....

—Anne Cassidy. “Every Child Should Have a Father But....,” McCall’s (March 1985)
