An Indispensable Toolset for Same-Sex Parenthood

First published in 2016 and winner of four literary awards. Now updated and packed with valuable information and more powerful stories of same-sex parents achieving and navigating parenthood.

Yes, you do have options. Same-sex couples (gay dads, lesbian moms, or other queer couples) are faced with many different options when choosing to have a family that includes beautiful children. In Journey to Same-Sex Parenthood, author, activist, and father Eric Rosswood guides and helps prospective LGBTQIA parents explore adoption, foster care, assisted reproduction, surrogacy, and coparenting.

Create your own happy family unit. Each section includes a description of a specific family-building approach, followed by personal stories from same-sex couples and individuals who have chosen that particular path. Learn strategies for dealing with challenges you will encounter on this parenting journey.

Inside find: strategies for successfully navigating same sex parenthood; firsthand accounts combined with critical tips and advice; and updated information about adoption, foster care, assisted reproduction, surrogacy, and coparenting.
