We’re Here! A Practical Guide to Becoming an LGBTQ+ Parent

We’re Here! A Practical Guide to Becoming an LGBTQ+ Parent by B.J. Woodstein ’01 is a practical handbook about family creation, birth, feeding, and parenting from an LGBTQ+ perspective. Aiming to demystify the road to queer parenting, the book offers detailed information and judgment-free lists of pros and cons for various options, with illustrative and inspiring examples from LGBTQ+ people themselves. We’re Here! is also intended to help educate allies and healthcare professionals—doctors, midwives, nurses, fertility specialists, doulas, lactation consultants, breastfeeding counsellors, health visitors—who come into contact with LGBTQ+ families but may lack confidence in their ability to interact with them or may not have the necessary knowledge about their parenting journeys.
