Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Authors Suzanne M. Johnson and Elizabeth O'Connor are experts on the challenges facing lesbian families: both developmental psychologists, they are coparenting two daughters. Their book For Lesbian Parents: Your Guide to Helping Your Family Grow Up Happy, Healthy and Proud offers help on explaining lesbianism to children and explores what lesbian parents can do to help children explain their family situation to their peers. Johnson and O'Connor also explore the complexity of dealing with the attitudes of the outside world, including relatives, schools, and doctors or mental health specialists. There aren't many books addressing the needs of the ongoing lesbian baby boom, and the enthusiastic blurb from Lesl‚a Newman, author of the acclaimed Heather Has Two Mommies, should help focus well-deserved attention to this one.
From Library Journal
Partners/psychologists/lesbians/mothers, Johnson and O'Connor are thoughtful and thorough in guiding lesbians through the life-changing venture of parenthood and offering solid advice as to exactly what can be said and done to lighten the mother load. "Different" does not mean "worse," they say, though they are very aware of all the problems that gay mothers must face. Being out is one of the most important steps to honest motherhood, though if some lesbians are still in the closet, there are ways to deal with children's questions. Known/unknown do-nors, adoptions, artificial insemination, interracial lesbian families, divorce, coming out, break-ups of lesbian unions, and lesbian stepfamilies are all covered. Including plentiful resources (e.g., books, web sites, and agencies), this frank, informed book is recommended for parenting as well as gay studies collections.
