Laura and Vincent are childfree, meaning they have chosen not to have children.  They were married in 2005; Laura is a graduate of Harvard Law School and works at a law firm in Manhattan. Vincent holds a Masters Degree in Psychology, and did an extensive statistical study of the childfree for his Master Thesis. He is currently pursuing a PhD.   He had a vasectomy  in 2001 at age 23 . They are originally from, and live in, New York City. 

The main website for No Kidding! International provides much of the general information needed about the organization. No Kidding! International is a non-profit social club created for singles and couples who have never had children, regardless of the reason.  The first chapter was started by Jerry Steinberg in Vancouver in 1984. No Kidding currently has over 90 chapters in the U.S., Canada, South Korea, Ivory Coast, Australia, and England.  Most of our chapters are in North America.

The chapters of No Kidding host social events, usually once or more per month.  Events consist of barbeques, pool parties, sports events, dinners, plays, hiking, wine tastings, and many other activities.  No Kidding! provides a place where people can meet other childless and childfree individuals.  Some people join to make friends with similar lifestyles, some simply enjoy social activities without discussing children.  No Kidding hosts a yearly convention, which has so far been held in Las Vegas, New Orleans, Seattle, Toronto and Philadelphia.
