Document Summary
Families and adoption: adoption in the united states has changed considerably over the past century. Financial support: resolution of housing problems, options for permanent care, differing in levels of financial security, health problems, employment issues, and family conflict. Information regarding the ways in which each grandparent functions in the parenting role should be incorporated into the planning and development of services. Several factors predict higher levels of nurturing and involvement from noncustodial fathers: higher socioeconomic status. For those in effective coparenting relationships, communication technologies make it easier for them to plan and make joint decisions about their children and to resolve minor problems. Family support is the most reliable and the most influential: types of assistance, nurturance of their daughters, help with childrearing responsibilities. Families with a member who is lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender: the ideological debates on sexuality and family place gay men and lesbians at the core of broader discussions of family politics.
