Open adoption is no easy road – especially if you’re a same-sex couple. Casey Williams tells the story of how he and his husband, Jerrod, adopted a little blond-haired girl that rocked their world.
The Adoption of Little Miss Fancy Pants (By Her Gay Dads) begins with perspective of how much being gay has changed in America and explores the various ways to adopt, settling on open adoption where adoptive parents and birth parents know each other and maintain a relationship. Finding the right match is like dating with ups and downs as contacts are made and lost. The book describes what happens after Casey and Jerrod, after receiving contacts from across America, match with wonderful parents – and their families - a couple of hours away. Along the way to finalizing their adoption, marriage equality sends them to the courthouse a day early. It’s both an entertaining and informative look at the process of finding the perfect princess.
