Synopsis
In the more than ten years since the first edition of Gay Fathers was published, the gay rights movement has made great strides. The most current research reveals that most gay fathers are good parents, raising healthy, well-adjusted kids. Gays and lesbians have become part of mainstream America and parenting is no longer seen as an exclusive right of heterosexuals. Today, more and more openly gay men are choosing to become fathers. Addressing the revolutionary changes affecting gay parenthood, this greatly expanded edition of Gay Fathers includes a wealth of information that supports the joys of gay fathering. With wisdom and heart, the authors embrace the many types of gay fatherhood-unmarried gay fathers, single and adoptive gay fathers, gay fathers with intact marriages, single gay fathers, gay father stepfamilies, two gay fathers and a lesbian mother, and separated or divorced gay fathers-and offer practical guidance for gay dads and their families no matter what their situation. This compassionate resource is filled with a broad range of helpful material and addresses many of the key issues that concern gay fathers: Guidance for navigating through the latest changes in the adoption and surrogate parenting processes Current facts about the most pertinent legal issues New case studies that explore the strengths of gay fathering Targeted information about successful stepparenting Heartfelt advice for gay grandfathers An enlightening guide to the spiritual aspects of gay fathering A handy listing of useful Internet resources In addition to affirming the rich potential of gay parenting, this intelligent book goes a long way to destroy many of the deeply ingrained homophobic stereotypes.
