Summary "Paralleling their gains in legal rights and social acceptance is a rapidly growing knowledge base concerning sexually diverse families. Emphasizing what we know and what we still need to know about this maturing field, LGBT-Parent Families covers both major and less-studied areas of research, exploring clinical, methodological, policy, and advocacy issues alongside the contexts in which parents practice their craft and children experience their world. Inclusiveness beyond sexuality and gender is a crucial dimension of this volume: issues of race/ethnicity, social class, and geographic diversity are discussed by most of the contributors, including a chapter devoted to non-Western perspectives. Diverse, too, are the disciplines represented in the book, from psychology and psychiatry to human development and legal studies. Among the topics covered: Lesbian and gay adoptive parents ; A call for research on bisexual parenting ; Transgender-parent families ; LGBTQ youth with LGBTQ parents ; Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender grandparents ; Clinical work with LGBTQ parents and prospective parents ; Qualitative research on LGBT-parent families ; Use of representative datasets to study LGBT-parent families ; Use of multilevel modeling to study LGBT-parent families. Geared toward researchers in family relations, family sociology, and public health as well as to policymakers and clinicians, LGBT-Parent Families breaks progressive new ground with an eye toward an egalitarian future."--Publisher's website
