Together, they searched for stories about families like their own, in which a woman has chosen to forgo her own birth experience so that she might support her partner in hers. They found very few. Now, in \u003ci\u003eConfessions of the Other Mother, \u003c\/i\u003e Aizley has put together an exciting collection of personal stories by women like her partner who are creating new parenting roles, redefining motherhood, and reshaping our view of two-parent families. Contributors include Hillary Goodridge, who was one of the lead plaintiffs in the case for same-sex marriage in Massachusetts, stand-up comedian Judy Gold, and psychologist and author Suzanne M. Johnson. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This candid peek into a previously unexamined side of lesbian parenting is full of stories that are sometimes humorous, sometimes moving, but at all times celebratory. Each parenting tale sheds light on the many facets of motherhood, offering gay and straight readers alike a deeper understanding of what it means to love and parent in the twenty-first century.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Beacon Press","offers":[{"title":"Confessions of the Other Mother: Nonbiological Lesbian Moms Tell All! | Harlyn Aizley | Paperback | 9780807079638 | Used: Very Good | Family \u0026 Relationships 1564343","offer_id":48428728975512,"sku":"1564343","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81OA85LnCtL.jpg?v=1773349324","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/confessions-of-the-other-mother-nonbiological-lesbian-moms-tell-all","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
