very helpful and comprehensive

loved it - so helpful - instantly fabulous and affirming. Although not all of it was relevant right now, I can tell I'll keep referring to it over time. <3

I love the Lesbian People

I love the Lesbian people. This is one of the greatest books I have ever read that helps us raise our children in a difficult, homophobic world. Highly recommended.

The Dr. Spock For Lesbian Families!

One of the best and most comprehensive books I have ever read concerning lesbian parenting. This book addresses child development and provides a common sense guide to raising kids, all with a lesbian twist. In addition to the usual parenting issues, the book also addresses concerns specific to lesbian headed households, including homophobia from outsiders, how to deal with school issues, and more. I recommend this book to anyone who has children whether they are lesbian or not. This book has much to offer in the way of advice to all parents who are committed to raising healthy, happy, and tolerant children
