A practical guide to LGBTQ+ paths to parenthood
The Queer Parent brings together information on IVF, surrogacy and adoption with accounts from LGBTQ+ parents who have taken differing routes to family life. Drawing on Lotte Jeffs and Stu Oakley’s conversations for the Some Families podcast, as well as their own experiences with IVF and adoption, it addresses the choices and questions that can arise when weighing potential paths to parenthood. Interviews span a range of sexual orientations, gender identities and backgrounds, giving the guide a broad community-based perspective. An introduction by Sandi Toksvig frames this resource for prospective queer parents and chosen families.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
