Product Description

How easy is it for lesbian and gay couples to adopt? Is the process any different from heterosexual adoption? Is it true that only hard-to-place children get placed with lesbians and gay men? This book answers these questions and more and talks to gay men and lesbians about what it is really like to adopt a child.

The Pink Guide to Adoption is the very first guide in the UK for lesbians and gay men considering adoption. The first part of the book outlines the process and explains what prospective adopters should expect and the stages they will have to go through. Illustrated with quotations from gay men and lesbians, it highlights key issues for those embarking on the adoption journey.

The second part features 14 case studies of lesbians and gay men, both couples and single adopters, at various stages in the adoption process. Informative and inspiring, these stories bring to life the reality of what adoption means. They describe the highs and lows, the difficulties faced and the rewards enjoyed.

A must for any lesbian or gay man wishing to adopt, The Pink Guide also provides invaluable insights for social workers into the loving families lesbian and gay adopters can offer.
