On Being a Gay Parent: Making a Future Together

On Being a Gay Parent: Making a Future Together Review



When I came out to my children in 1992, I searched the library for anything that might help me with this difficult and frightening event in my life and that of my children. There was nothing on the library shelf!

What Brett Webb-Mitchell has so brilliantly created is an easy reference guide written in a conversational style. This book is extremely helpful for anyone on the path of being a gay parent. Each chapter addresses the author's own personal experiences on ten different and critically important aspects of life we, as gay parents, can and may times do experience. The author is 'right there with you' openly sharing his life while helping to give you guidance plus many helpful and insightful moments as you read almost every page.

This is a book that should be read by not only gay parents but anyone who sees themselves as someone wanting to understand the challenges of those not in the 'main stream' of the american experinece of parenting. The more we share Brett Webb-Mitchell's book with others, the deeper the understanding we will have of each other and the more help we will provide to those on the difficult path that he has and continues to travel.

Congrats to the author for writing a book that has been so sorely needed for so many years. Now future generations of gay parents will have the guidance/advise that has been missing for so many years. Now those who truly wish to understand the life and challenges of gay parents have a place to go.

Personally, I recommend this book without hesitation. Buy extra copies and give them to your friends!!!
