Lesbian and Gay Foster Care and Adoption, Second Edition available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Featuring a spectrum of families from diverse backgrounds, this book reveals the joys and challenges of adoptive and foster parenting. The authors outline how the experience of adopting and fostering has changed for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people over the years, major changes in policy, and what the research can tell us about LGBT parenting. They interview families involved at different stages of the fostering and adoption process, from those undergoing assessments through to the experienced foster carers and adopters who were interviewed for the first edition of this book 20 years previously. While the number of LGBT people adopting or fostering has increased since then, some of the very real challenges still endure - including social stigma, homophobia and discriminatory policies - and families share some of the strategies they have used to help to address them. This is an essential source of information and advice for same-sex couples and LGBT single parents, as well as social workers, social work educators, sociologists of personal life, fostering and adoption panel members.

"You can imagine this in third world countries...and yet, many people did amazing work to help these children achieve as much normalcy as possible." Orphaned, Fostered and Adopted is the first-person account of one young woman, put into the 'system' in pre-school and bounced back and forth among orphanages, foster homes, and her own family. Until one day she is finally adopted by an American family. This detailed memoir tells her story in vivid, often disturbing, narrative. And despite if all, overcoming it all, she becomes a fine and successful woman in the end. Marissa Kline-Gonzales was born in the Philippines and tells her story from her mother's death, which puts her into an orphanage, through her successful career as a US flight attendant. She is currently married and has two children and still lives in the United States.
