Summary: Excellent book with dynamic photos!
Comment: Like the other reviewers of this book, I also feel it was a page turner and beautifully written. I bought the book based on the reviews I read from this site and am happy to say it was worth every penny! David Straw has a gift for story telling. He shares the tales of 24 families and tells us how they each became a family. The methods range from international adoptions to co-parenting with a lesbian couple. The photographs are brilliant. I had to hold back from choking on tears several times because the pictures were so touching. Straw covers his own family's story in the last chapter. His kids are insanely cute! I guarantee this book is a must-read, something for everyone, gay, straight, married, or single, whatever, you will love it!

Summary: Gay Dads
Comment: A most remarkable and enjoyable book. I couldn't put it down once I started. A must reading for any gay man and couples thinking about sharing their lives raising a child / children.
The book is well written and has a reference section where the reader can gain more information and assistance in their goals to adapt a child.
One main point that I came away with, after reading Gay Dads is that, if your heart tells you to share your life and love raising a child, don't give up. The rewards are incomprehensible.
Bravo there David Strah, BRAVO

Summary: Daddy to the second power!
Comment: This book is an interesting collection of personal stories that explores the view of fatherhood through a gay man's perspective. David Strah, the author, looks at twenty five different situations, including his own, that offer a wide scope of options, revealing the relationship that gay men have with their children, their community and families, as well as the gay community. Through these men, we are shown the many ways that gay men can become fathers---domestic adoption, surrogacy, international adoption, foster parenting and co-parenting---all important means to these men, who wanted to share their life with children. The one thing that surprised me most, I think, is the common thread of the gay community basically separating themselves from these gay fathers. However, the most important aspect I derived from this book, is that a family is composed of loving parents, who want children and lavish them with affection, stability and a good home. It doesn't matter that its two fathers---just that they are loved and wanted. This is an interesting read with a positive attitude toward gay men's ability for parenthood and worth reading if you are gay or straight, single or married, parent or not. Give it a try.
