"It answers every question you could have about LGBTQ+ families. It's a must-read." - Will Young

LGBTQ+ people have more choices than ever when it comes to creating a family, but the lack of targeted information and the prevailing absence of representation can leave parents, prospective parents, friends, and relatives in the dark.

Authors Lotte Jeffs and Stu Oakley have spoken with dozens of experts and queer families, and this book is the result of those discussions and their own experiences in parenting through IUI and adoption, respectively.

90% of queer parenting is just... parenting, but being LGBTQ+ as a parent brings with it a range of challenges that mainstream guides – which tend to assume heterosexuality – do not cover.

From adoption, surrogacy, fertility treatment, and other routes to parenting, to donors, trans parenting, dealing with homophobia in a family setting, coming out at the school gates, and much more, The Queer Parent is a groundbreaking guide for LGBTQ+ parents, prospective parents, and anyone wishing to support their journey.

It's a book that revolutionizes the concept of family for the modern age.
