123. APA Public Interest Directorate: Research Summary On Lesbian And Gay Parenting Research summary provided by the Public Interest Directorate of lesbian and gayparents and their children designed for mental health professionals working http://www.apa.org/pi/parent.html

Lesbian and Gay Parenting PREFACE I. SUMMARY OF RESEARCH FINDINGS II. ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY I. SUMMARY OF RESEARCH FINDINGS Charlotte J. Patterson University of Virginia As this summary will show, the results of existing research comparing gay and lesbian parents to heterosexual parents and children of gay or lesbian parents to children of heterosexual parents are quite uniform: common sterotypes are not supported by the data. One criticism of this body of research (Belcastro et al., 1993) has been that the research lacks external validity because it may not be representative of the larger population of lesbian and gay parents. This criticism is not justified, because nobody knows the actual composition of the entire population of lesbian mothers, gay fathers, or their children (many of whom choose to remain hidden) and hence researchers cannot possible evaluate the degree to which particular samples do or do not represent the population. In the long run, it is not the results obtained from any one specific sample, but the accumulation of findings from many different samples that will be most meaningful. Research in this area has also been criticized for using poorly matched or no control groups in designs that call for such controls. Particularly notable in this category has been the tendency in some studies to compare development among children of a group of divorced lesbian mothers, many of whom are living with lesbian partners, to that among children of a group of divorced heterosexual mothers who are not currently living with heterosexual partners. It will be important for future research to disentangle maternal sexual orientation from maternal status as partnered or unpartnered.

134. Michele Stanley's Parenting And Foster Parenting Page parenting sites and a person note about fostering experiences as a Guardian AdLitem. Links for foster parenting and special needs. http://users.southeast.net/~mstanley/parent.htm

As a foster parent and Guardian Ad Litem, I have spent the last several years seeing the "child protection" system close up. I have known children that have been through unimaginable horrors within their families of origin, only to be further abused by a system that, in my opinion, doesn't work. There are no easy answers. The number of children in alternative care is increasing dramatically. The number of foster families is steadily decreasing. Privativing foster care has become the new panacea, but like most things, "if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is". As George Carlin so aptly put it "It doesn't take a village to raise a child. It takes a Mother and a Father." The "system" abuses the children, the biological families, the foster families and the adoptive families. And God forbid you actually adopt one of these kids!!! I have known children who were abused before birth (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Effect), children who became psychotic, dissociative or had attachment disorder. Following are some sites that I have found and used concerning kids and parenting: Foster Parenting Sites: Foster Parents Page Foster Parents Newsletter National Court-appointed Special Advocates Association - Help a child.
