Resource List, ideas? - Page 2

[wehrli]

i think these used to be sticky:

genderqueer parent names

queer positive book list

And, do you think it would be possible to divide the list into categories?  I know it would be easier to initially see discussion threads on Queer Parenting that are stickied to be distinct from other external resource lists.

one should be started!

Feel free to lead the way!

I was just in an awesome class on lgbtq books for kids and teens and they mentioned the online literary magazine Rainbow Rumpus: www.rainbowrumpus.org. It's written for kids with queer parents and has lots on there: book reviews, coloring pages and activities for kids, plus stuff for teens and adults.

Got it! Thanks so much!

I'd like to see a list and/or discussion of books for parents.  Anything queer friendly or books members have used from TTC and fertility to parenting issues like discipline and eating.  I went to the bookstore today and had to search through fertility books to see if any of them had anything substantial about DI or specifically queer issues.  I was greatly disappointed by the bible of a book called "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" that everyone seems so excited about.  IUI was only brought up on a few pages and I couldn't find anything about frozen sperm.  I went to the big library downtown one day a couple weeks ago and checked out:

"The Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy for Lesbians" by Rachel Pepper (read)

"A Donor Insemination Guide: Written By and For Lesbian Women" by Marie Mohler and Lacy Frazer (working on reading)

"Baby Steps: How Lesbian Alternative Insemination is Changing the World" by Amy Agigian (not read)

"Mommies, Daddies, Donors, Surrogates: Answering Tough Questions and Building Strong Familes" by Diane Ehrensaft (not read)

And one other one about ART and it's social and scientific impacts that I left at a friend's house a week ago, eek!  (it was really good what I got to, lots of information but not relevant to ttc)

With my gift card I bought "The Complete Organic Pregnancy" by Deirdre Dolan and Alexander Zissu (so I can freak out about all the toxins in the world...)

I have read or perused various parenting books as a professional nanny for the last 5 years and have lots more parenting books I could add to the list.

I'd love to know what other people have read!

Thank you! I've got these on the list.

I'm so sorry but I must have overlooked this before. I just divided the Resource list into Websites/Books and Discussion threads. 

Thank you all!
