Summary:

"In this video, gay and lesbian couples and individuals describe each part of the process of becoming adoptive parents. Homophobia continues to be present for many, in the form of legal barriers, judgmental questions from family, or realizing the amount of thought that had to go into decisions many straight parents take for granted. The parents also talk about seeking help when needed and forming supportive new communities, and special emphasis is placed on the intersectionality of race, adoption, and GLBT issues, as many of the parents adopted transracially. By watching this video, you will learn about the process of adopting a child as a gay or lesbian parent; understand the role of the social worker in maneuvering through legal systems and aiding the family in their new role; and gain a greater understanding of the issues that straight parents take for granted that GLBT parents cannot. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions." Supplied by publisher.
