PRODUCT DETAILS Author: Wade, Garon Binding: Paperback Number Of Pages: 563 Release Date: 11-05-2021 Details: “Every once in a while a book comes along at a time when its message is most needed. Garon Wade’s memoir is, without a doubt, one of those books.” —Patrício de Sousa “Garon Wade’s memoir is a welcome addition to today’s important conversation about race & globalism. His story is one not often experienced, let alone told, of the challenges as well as the immense beauty that can result from the colliding of races, ethnicities, nations, and worlds. Told with compassion for the complexity and diversity of the human experience and a passion for a life lived across the globe, YABWTM will transport you, teach you, and move you.” —Anna Kawar Three years into Sri Lanka’s bloody civil war, an abandoned baby ends up in the adopted arms of a white American couple living in a Colombo home that doubles as a CIA safe house. They take him on an extraordinary journey around the globe as he’s launched into the diplomatic world of ambassadors, UN workers, and international schools. Each summer he returns to the bayous of his parents’ small-town Louisiana, as exotic to him as the golden South African savannahs of his early childhood. He’s curious to know this America, a country he may someday be a part of. But with sincere love comes racism wrapped in the drawling sweetness of his grandparents’ good intentions. Garon Wade’s transcendent memoir is an international coming-of-age story that explores how the heart of an orphan grew to love a world that didn’t always love him back. You’ll Always Be White To Me asks us who we are, what our common humanity is, and if it’s possible to look beyond our color and find our way there.

Determined To Be Dad: A Journey of Faith, Resilience, and Love $19.95

Author: Disselhorst, SteveBrand: Publish Your Purpose PressEdition: IllustratedBinding: PaperbackFormat: IllustratedNumber Of Pages: 236Release Date: 17-03-2020Details: Product Description Steve’s life has been consumed with the quest to create a family. As a boy raised Catholic in the Midwest, he grew up thinking he was straight and would marry a woman and have children. When he was confronted with his attraction to men and the eventual realization that he was gay, he gave up that dream of having a family and chose the route of gay singledom. As the times changed and he gained greater self-acceptance, he re-ignited his dream for a family and started the arduous journey toward parenthood.  Determined To Be Dad chronicles his trials and tribulations of self-discovery to acceptance to building a new reality and, finally, to the joys of creating his own family through adoption. With this tender and painful story, Steve offers his journey as a tribute to his desire for familial connection, overcoming self-imposed handicaps, and facing the harsh realities of two men trying to create a family. This is the story of faith, resilience, and the ubiquitous need for love and family. Review "In this debut memoir, a writer recounts his journey to parenthood despite his initial fears that gay men could not have children. As a child, Disselhorst thought his life would follow the traditional arc of a Roman Catholic boy from the Midwest: grow up, fall in love with a woman, get married, raise a family. "It was part of the fabric of my being from the beginning of my life," he remembers early in the book. "This desire to be a parent felt predetermined, like the color of my eyes and the way I walked." But as he came to terms with his budding gay sexuality, he assumed that the life of a family man was simply not in the cards for him. Beginning with his first relationships with men in college, he began to come to terms with his life as a single gay man: one of money, travel, and new experiences. Even so, that drive to be a father never went away, and as the times changed--and as Disselhorst matured--he began to envision the sort of family he always wanted. With this book, he recalls his odyssey through the process of self-discovery, monogamy, gay marriage, adoption, and, ultimately, the much-coveted fatherhood with his husband, Lorevic, and their two children. Disselhorst's prose is simple and earnest as he describes his evolution from a curious, if timid, teen to a confident, empathetic man:"The experience of engaging with these heterosexual couples struggling with fertility reminded me of the normal bonds that bring humanity together. These couples were experiencing many of the same feelings that I had experienced as a gay man trying to figure out my identity. The shame and loss were universal." It's an oddly calming work despite the ups and downs of the author's life. He rarely expresses anger, and his commitment to family and personal growth are pleasantly altruistic. The memoir is perhaps not a particularly literary one, but it contains a great deal of information on the adoption process--valuable for would-be parents of all stripes--as well as a chronicle of how the social position of gay men has changed so much since Disselhorst's generation came of age. A bighearted account of identity and parenthood." --Kirkus Review "Millennial LGBTQ people are looking at creating families at a much higher rate than previous generations and still face some of the same roadblocks. Steve's story of coming out and then his odyssey of creating his family is a must-read for anyone pondering their own journey of becoming a parent. Steve provides both practical information about the hoops he jumped through during the process and his storie sof self-discovery that brought him to the realization that he could be a father."--Rev. Stan J. Sloan, CEO, Family Equality  "Steve's journey of becoming a dad demonstrates the human experience of wanting to belong and the need for resilience to be our authentic selves. He writes of many intersectional experiences where he finds commonality with different communities and how those experPackage Dimensions: 8.9 x 6.0 x 0.7 inchesLanguages: English

The Ultimate Guide for Gay Dads: Everything You Need to Know About LGBTQ Parenting But Are (Mostly) Afraid to Ask
The Ultimate Guide for Gay Dads: Everything You Need to Know About LGBTQ Parenting But Are (Mostly) Afraid to Ask $15.99

Author: Eric Rosswood Number Of Pages: 248 Publisher: Mango Release Date: 24-10-2017 Details: #1 Amazon New Release! ─ If you are thinking of becoming a gay dad, or if you are already a gay dad ─ this book is for you! 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’s about to get more intense and you will have a child watching your every move and listening to your every word. If you stutter or pause, they may pick up on your discomfort and could start to feel like something is wrong about their family unit. The Ultimate Guide For Gay Dads is jam packed with parenting tips and advice to help you build confidence and become the awesome gay dad you were meant to be! How Is This Parenting Guide Different From Others? Unlike other parenting books that have whole chapters focusing on things specifically related to mothers (such as how to get the perfect latch when breastfeeding), this parenting book replaces those sections with things relevant to gay dads. 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. The book also includes parenting tips and advice from pediatricians, school educators, lawyers, and other same-sex parents. *Disclaimer: Gays with Kids is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn fees by linking to amazon.com and its affiliated sites.
