So many books for new parents are geared for straight couples and women specifically, with large focuses on topics such as nursing and taking care of the baby while recovering from labor\/c-section that were not relevant to us. This book really cuts to the chase and addresses both universal parenting questions (what baby products are really necessary?) and issues and questions that are specific to gay parents, such as suggestions on how to address awkward or discriminatory questions from strangers when out with the baby in public, and how to navigate legal issues such as pre-birth order for surrogacy. We continue referring to this book now that our baby has joined the family.
