Queer stepfamilies : the path to social and legal recognition

Author:	Katie L Acosta
Publisher:	New York : New York University Press, [2021] ©2021
Edition/Format:	Print book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"Lesbian, bisexual, and queer families formed after the dissolution of a marriage face a range of obstacles. In this book, Katie L. Acosta offers insight into their complex experiences as they negotiate parenting among multiple parents and family-building in a world not designed to meet their needs. Drawing on interviews, Acosta follows the journeys of more than forty families as they navigate a legal and social landscape that fails to recognize their existence. Acosta contextualizes the legal realities of LGBTQ stepparent families and considers the actions these parents take to protect their families in the absence of comprehensive policies or laws geared to meet their needs.
