Adoption by Lesbians and Gay Men: A New Dimension in Family Diversity (2011) by David M. Brodzinski
Book
This book explores the range of historical, legal, sociological, psychological, social casework, and personal issues related to adoption by gay and lesbian individuals and couples. It is a rigorous, UK-relevant reference for adopters and professionals.
It brings together leading scholars and practitioners to examine the history of adoption, agency policies toward LGBTQ+ applicants, legal issues, parenting outcomes and best-practice support before and after placement.
Ideal for prospective LGBTQ+ adopters, it dispels myths with evidence, outlines what to expect from agencies and summarises research on child outcomes in same-sex parent families.
