Delighted by a meticulously written and thoughtful review on Mombian, a popular LGBTQ parenting site, and the book’s inclusion in its online database of LGBTQ family books.
Calling A Family, Maybe a “heartfelt memoir,” the review suggests that “other foster parents (and prospective ones) may appreciate the sheer amount of detail he provides, which may offer insights on a practical or emotional level.”
It concludes with the following: “While rights for same-sex couples have advanced since the time of Lane’s daughters’ fostering (helped in part by the family stories that he and Jonathan, along with many others, submitted to various courts), there is still need for further change. Similarly, the need for reform of the foster care system remains urgent. Stories like this one show us why—but may also offer hope and help to others who are in the midst of similar experiences.”
I couldn’t agree more.
