I'm new to all this backlinking business and I own a new parenting forum, I want new members so will purchasing backlinks work?
Traffic generation includes a number of strategies. To generate traffic from backlinks there are a few things to consider. Where will the backlinks come from? If they are from parenting blogs for example, you have a better chance of getting traffic then if the backlink was from a gaming blog. You need to find targeted backlinks for your niche. If your backlink is from an article directory, you have a better chance of having someone interested in your forum if they are reading your article. If your backlinks are not targeted, you still have the benefit of improving your ranking in the search engines. It's useful to have both types of backlinks.
It only work for large traffic site, when all visitor gather to a large site, high chances for some user click through the targeted site. Beside traffic, those backlink does help to improve SERP and PR ranking.

Building backlinks is mostly for SEO purposes, to get you a higher rank in search engines, however do note that Google prefers links that are actually clicked on.
Purchase backlink can helps in SERP but you might feel disappointed with the result. If you are looking for member, i will suggest buy a banner space from the forum or social netwrk in your niche and hire some quality poster to make thread/post to attract member.
