Book Reviews of Gay and Lesbian Parents
Book Review: good early book on gay parents
Summary: 4 Stars
I read this book while doing an internship at the National Center for Lesbian Rights in San Francisco. The editor, F. Bozett, was an expert on gay fathers just as Cynthia Patterson is an expert on lesbian mothers. The book covers many relevant subjects such as gay foster parents, gay parents in heterosexual marriages, etc. ... This book is designed more for researchers and college students. Still, I think Mr. Gay John Doe and Ms. Lesbian Jane Doe would find it accessible and interesting.
Summary of Gay and Lesbian Parents
This insightful new work deals with all of the contemporary issues concerning parenting by gay men and lesbians. It is designed to broaden readers' thinking on homosexuality and homosexuals in general; to include the dimension of children and parenting within the context of the homosexual family; and to provide specific information about it. The book also includes data on the children of gay and lesbian parents, as well as a discussion of alternative forms of parenthood such as adoptive and foster parenthood, stepparent families, and gay men and lesbians in heterosexual family unions. Because of their special significance, there are separate chapters on legal issues, counseling needs, and social psychological concerns for gays and lesbians considering parenthood.General Books
