There Is No Perfect School
Parents influence their children's educational experiences in part via school selection. This process is particularly complex for families with multiple minority, potentially stigmatized, statuses. This qualitative study examines middle-class lesbian and gay (LG) adoptive parents' school decision-making. Parents' economic resources provided the foundation for how parents weighed child/family identities (children's race, LG-parent family structure…
Meeting other moms
Little research has examined the friendships of lesbian parents, especially within the context of children's schools. This study of 40 lesbian adoptive parents (20 couples) focused on their relationships with other parents in the school community and how sexual orientation, race, and class dynamics impacted these relationships. Half of the participants described friendships with parents at the school, sometimes in spite of demographic differences…

M., & Blumer, M. L. C. (2014). The couple and family technology framework. New York, NY: Ro…
