Assisted Loving
By: Morris, Bob
Published by: Harper Collins
What would you do if your eighty-year-old father dragged you into his hell-bent hunt for new love? Bob Morris, a seriously single son, tells you all about it in this warm, witty, and wacky chronicle of a year of dating dangerously. A few months after the death of his wife, Joe Morris, an affable, eccentric, bridge-obsessed octogenarian, starts flapping about for a replacement. If he can get a new hip, he figures, why not a new wife? At first, his son Bob is appalled, but suspicion quickly turns to enthusiasm as he finds himself trolling the personals, screening prospects, and offering etiquette tips, chaperoning services, and post-date assessments to his needy father. Bob hopes that Joe will find a well-heeled lady—or at least one who is very patient—to get him out of his hair. But soon they discover that finding a new mate will not be as easy as they think: one date is too morose, another too liberal; one's a three-timer, another just needs an escort until Mr. Right comes along. Dad persists and son assists. Am I pimping for my father? he begins to wonder. Meanwhile, Bob suffers similar frustrations; trying to find love isn't easy in a big-city market that has little use for a middle-aged gay man with an attitude and a paunch. But with the encouragement of his father (his biggest fan and the world's "most democratic Republican") he prevails. In the end, this memoir becomes a twin love story and a soulful lesson about giving and receiving affection with an open heart. With wicked humor and a dollop of compassion, Bob Morris gleefully explores the impact of senior parents on their boomer kids and the perils of dating at any age.

Beyond the Foster Care System
By: Krebs, Betsy; Pitcoff, Paul
Published by: Rutgers University Press
In this richly detailed exploration of the foster care system, Krebs and Pitcoff argue that the existing system sets teens up to fail by inadequately preparing them for adult life. They contend that the primary goal of foster care for teenagers should be preparation for a fully productive adult life, and that current policies and practice are misguided. Beyond the Foster Care System follows both Krebs and Pitcoffs journey through foster care and the stories of teens themselves. The book demonstrates that alternatives to the standard way of providing foster care are not only imaginable, but possible.

Big Steps for Little People
By: Foster, Celia
Published by: Jessica Kingsley Publishers
'…all those involved in the adoption of children, old hands and new, will be stimulated and encouraged by this infectious read.'. - from the Foreword by David Howe, Dean of the School of Social Work and Psychosocial Sciences, University of East Anglia. 'This work is a treasure for foster and adoptive parents and for the professionals who work to assist them.'. - from the Foreword by Daniel A. Hughes, clinical psychologist, consultant, trainer and author. This book is full of the techniques that we have used successfully over the years. Many we have adapted to suit their needs and many we have made up ourselves. What we have become particularly good at is not giving up!. A mother of two adopted children, Celia Foster has written Big Steps for Little People as a personal 'insider's guide' to parenting adopted children. Drawing on the hard-won wisdom gained in her own family life, Celia offers a thoughtful account of life with adopted children and examines the issues that many adoptive families encounter, including the development of children with attachment problems and how to tackle behavioural difficulties. She combines real-life anecdotes with suggestions and strategies that other parents can put to use. This book will be a great comfort and help to all adoptive families and offers insights for the professionals who work with them.
