      pages = {1 online resource},
      abstract = {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.},
