Here at last is a book based on a thorough review of the literature, as well as interviews with a pioneering group of men who in the 1980s chose to become fathers outside the boundaries of a heterosexual union--through foster care, adoption, and other kinship relationships. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book reveals how very natural and possible gay parenthood can be. What factors influence this decision? How do the experiences of gay dads compare to those of heterosexual men? How effectively do professional services such as support groups serve gay fathers and prospective gay fathers? What elements of the social climate are helpful--and hurtful? \u003ci\u003eGay Men Choosing Parenthood\u003c\/i\u003e challenges a great deal of misinformation, showing how gay fathers from different backgrounds adapted, perceived, and constructed their options and their families.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerald Mallon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231117973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231117975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 5.56w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 17 - Strongly Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2004 pg. 112","brand":"Gerald Mallon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086432415999,"sku":"9780231117975","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6165f558-06ce-441b-be01-276c8ff03a31.jpg?v=1769094639","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gay-men-choosing-parenthood-gerald-mallon-9780231117975","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
