Books like The birth mother by Tara Taylor Quinn
Bryan Chambers, a charismatic entrepreneur and bachelor uncle, suddenly becomes a father figure when the only remaining family for his eleven‑year‑old niece, Nicki, is himself. After Nicki’s parents die, she feels a void that only knowing her birth mother could fill.
Grieving and determined, Bryan tracks down Jennifer Teal—a beautiful, successful, unmarried twenty‑seven‑year‑old—who had given Nicki up eleven years earlier. Jennifer’s reluctance to connect with children, and a second complication that remains unspecified, test Bryan’s resolve. As he navigates this new relationship, a budding romance between Bryan and Jennifer adds complexity to their shared quest.
The story explores themes of family, loss, and the surprising ways people find one another when life takes unexpected turns.

WHAT HAVE YOU RESOLVED TO DO BY THE YEAR 2000?
Susan Kennedy's going to have a baby...by the time she turns forty. Which is in the year 2000. It's something she'd wanted -- planned -- for the past decade. Now she's got everything she needs to go ahead. A nice home, a successful career, a loving family. Everything except a husband.
She used to have a husband -- Michael Kennedy -- and that's the man she wants for her baby's father. She only needs Michael's "biological" contribution, though.
But then, when Susan's pregnant, she discovers two unexpected complications:
1. She loves Michael more than ever and wants him to be her husband again -- and a father to his child!
2. There isn't going to be one baby, but two -- she's having twins.
