"Out of the Darkness and Over the Rainbow" This is a book written about a mother's struggle with accepting her gay child. As parents we all hold the highest hopes and dreams for our children, and when things do not turn out like we planned we sometimes have trouble remembering what is truly important and that is the unconditional love we have for them. In this book a mother takes you on her private journey and shares the accounts of her life as well as that of her daughters. From the hopes and dreams of a young mother to the stark realization of parenting a gay child. The alienation of friends and family the stares and whispers of strangers, the constant feelings of guilt and shame, the denial, and the epiphany that came from a friends loss of a child, which made her realize that nothing was more important in this world than to be part of her daughter's life, no matter how different that life would be. This book will take you through the darkness of depression and helplessness, over the rainbow to pride and joy, and help you understand that happiness and normalcy do exist when you focus on love. That everything you could possibly want for your child is still possible as long as you open your mind and heart and let love be your guide. This book will change your idea of the word "Normal"and fill your heart with compassion for all people and their diversity.

Routledge International Handbook of Shared Parenting and Best Interest of the Child
<p>This multidisciplinary volume offers an essential, comprehensive study of perspectives on the scope and application of the best interests of the child and focuses mainly on its application in relation to child custody.</p><p>With expert contributions from psychological, sociological and legal perspectives, it offers scientific analysis and debate on whether it should be the primary consideration in deciding child custody cases in cases of divorce or separation or whether it should be one of several primary considerations. It explores complex dilemmas inherent in shared parenting and whether the advantages it offers children are sufficient when compared to attributing custody to one parent and limiting visitation rights of the other. Offering a comprehensive analysis of this complex topic, chapters provide detailed insight into the current state of research in this area, as well as expert guidelines aimed at resolving the controversies when parents agree or disagree over their children's living arrangements. Cutting-edge topics explored include: transnational shared parenting&#x3b; alternative dispute resolution&#x3b; breastfeeding parents&#x3b; religious disputes between parents and the psychological, social and economic factors that affect shared parenting.</p><p>The Routledge International Handbook of Shared Parenting and Best Interest of the Child will be essential reading for scholars and graduate students in law, psychology, sociology and economics interested in shared parenting and family law.</p>
