Book
We are family : the modern transformation of parents and children / Susan Golombok.
"Golombok presents case studies on the idea of the family that are drawn from decades of research: family secrets kept for years and then inadvertently revealed; children reunited with their biological parents or half siblings they never knew existed; and painful legal battles to determine who is worthy of parenting their own children. Golombok explores the novel moral questions that changing families create, and ultimately makes a powerful argument that the bond between family members, rather than any biological or cultural factor, is what ensures a safe and happy future"-- Provided by publisher.
