Extraordinary changes in patterns of family life-and family
law-have dramatically altered the boundaries of parenthood and
opened up numerous questions and debates. What is parenthood and
why does it matter? How should society define, regulate, and
support it? Is parenthood separable from marriage-or
couplehood-when society seeks to foster children's well-being? What
is the better model of parenthood from the perspective of child
outcomes? Intense disagreements over the definition and future of
marriage often rest upon conflicting convictions about parenthood.
What Is Parenthood? asks bold and direct questions about parenthood
in contemporary society, and it brings together a stellar
interdisciplinary group of scholars with widely varying
perspectives to investigate them. Editors Linda C. McClain and
Daniel Cere facilitate a dynamic conversation between scholars from
several disciplines about competing models of parenthood and a
sweeping array of topics, including single parenthood, adoption,
donor-created families, gay and lesbian parents, transnational
parenthood, parent-child attachment, and gender difference and
parenthood.
