DESCRIPTION:
PopDaddy is thus a memoir of gay parenthood that takes readers to new places. (But if you do, more power to you.)

Hold him. Go make sure that he's doing alright; make sure he knows that we are waiting for him." Ken was already convinced enough for the two of us.. Along the way they discover that being "out" takes on a new meaning when the duo becomes a trio and that the word family is broad enough to include them.An excerpt from Chapter 6:"Maybe we should go to Guatemala." "And try to smuggle him back home? That sounds crazy, even for me." "No, silly. I don't know about you but I'm tired of only knowing our son through other people's pictures of him." Yes, I totally swooned when he said our son. Each new arrival would be carefully inspected for minor changes in our son, and then dutifully sent along to friends and family. And with each passing picture Baby Jackson became a little more firmly entrenched, not only in our liv
