Mothering without a Compass is the story of Thompson's first year as the white lesbian "sudden-mother" of an African American boy. From the everyday yet sometimes overwhelming tasks of finding Adrian a school and debating the significance of action figures, to unexpected discussions about who pays whom at the sperm bank and the more complicated matters of racism, sexuality, nontraditional families, open adoption, love, and loss, Thompson gives us an absorbing and often humorous account of her experience with antiracist, multicultural parenting." "Mothering without a Compass relates a lesbian parent's struggle to help her child grow up and describes the complexities facing children who have more than one family."--BOOK JACKET. 000374150 650_0 $$aLesbian mothers$$xFamily relationships$$zUnited States. 000374150 650_0 $$aWomen, White$$xFamily relationships$$zUnited States. 000374150 650_0 $$aAfrican American young men$$xFamily relationships. 000374150 650_0 $$aChildren of gay parents$$xFamily relationships$$zUnited States. 000374150 650_0 $$aMothers and sons$$zUnited States. 000374150 655_7 $$aElectronic books.$$2lcsh 000374150 85280 $$bebk$$hProquest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000374150 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=10151297$$zOnline Access 000374150 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:374150$$pGLOBAL_SET 000374150 980__ $$aEBOOK 000374150 980__ $$aBIB 000374150 982__ $$aEbook 000374150 983__ $$aOnline
