How to Buy a Baby S1 & S2

An infertile couple struggles to conceive with the help of a doctor. And a nurse. And an embryologist. And a financial planner. And unsolicited advice from everyone they know.

Overview

30-something couple, Jane and Charlie, have long given up on making a baby the fun way. Diagnosed with infertility, they are resigned to needing invasive assistance if they are ever to become parents. They are determined, though, to keep things fertilifun and not lose sight of why they wanted to have a child together in the first place.

Darkly funny and achingly honest, How to Buy a Baby follows one couple through a cycle of in vitro fertilization. The series provides a voyeuristic view of a marriage under pressure and proves that even the most difficult experiences, that challenge our very biology, can connect us to humanity and make us laugh.

*Season 1 was produced with participation from TELUS Fund.
