This is a review for a novel called The Ultimate Guide for Gay Dads: Everything You Need to Know About LGBTQ Parenting But Are (Mostly) Afraid to Ask (Gay Parenting, Adoption Gift for Adoptive Parents I was sent to review. The thoughts in the review are mine and mine alone.
I would like to let you know what the Author has chosen to write are not my beliefs but everyone is entitled to live there lives the way they like. To be a better parent and to explain things to Charlie I might not know about leads me to reading novels like The Ultimate Guide For Gay Dads.
I do not stick my head in the sand and pretend people are or are not Gay because my Uncle and two Cousins are. Charlie, just doesn’t relize this about them and I haven’t talked to Charlie about them but when he is older I will.
I don’t pretend there aren’t Gay people because they exist and no, matter where we go in this world including school we can find two dads or two moms. What I can do is prepare my child to the best of my knowledge.
In kindergarten Charlie’s best friend Emma had to moms and the kids was so mean to her they ended up moving away. Before I could explain to Charlie what was happening.
I would like to remind you parents shouldn’t be determined by there SEX but by the way they treat children. Sometimes women aren’t cut out to be moms and dads are which is why I wanted to read this novel.
I like knowing the Author included tips to help parents become better parents and to know how to handle any institution. No, matter what your views are I believe everyone should read this new novel.

Are you ready to have kids? More and more gay men are turning to adoption and surrogacy to start their own families. An estimated two million American LBGTQ people would like to adopt and an estimated 65,000 adopted children are living with a gay parent. In 2016, The Chicago Tribune reported that 10 to 20 percent of donor eggs went to gay men expanding their families via surrogacy, and in many places the numbers were up 50 percent from the previous five years.
Gay parenting: Having a kid is like coming out all over again, on a daily basis, especially if you have an infant. Was coming out stressful for you?

It covers topics like how to find LGBT friendly pediatricians, how to find LGBT friendly schools, how to childproof your home with style, how to answer awkward and prying questions about your family from strangers, examples for what two-dad families can do on Mother’s Day, and much more.
