A pause. 'Ah, Herr Fergusson. It's Frau Schwenk.' Our social
worker, I now understood. 'Thank you for getting back to me. I'm
calling because we have a little boy, four weeks old, who needs a
family.' In 2018, after the introduction of marriage equality in
Germany, Ben Fergusson and his German husband Tom became one of the
first same-sex married couples to adopt in the country. In Tales
from the Fatherland Fergusson reflects on his long journey to
fatherhood and the social changes that enabled it. He uses his
outsider status as both a gay father and a parent adopting in a
foreign country to explore the history and sociology of fatherhood
and motherhood around the world, queer parenting and adoption and,
ultimately, the meaning of family and love. Tales from the
Fatherland makes an impassioned case for the value of diversity in
family life, arguing that diverse families are good for all
families and that misogyny lies at the heart of many of the
struggles of straight and queer families alike.
