Some useful links which may help any LGBT people or allies wishing to find out more about LGBT parenting in the UK in particular.

heterosexual ones and the society is no longer as homophobic as was in
the past. Nevertheless, gay and lesbian parents face a number of issues
that are virtually unknown to heterosexual families.

objective: to provide services that improve the self-esteem, confidence,
life chances, achievements and placement stability of the young people
placed with us and to meet the needs of foster families.
