“Charming, poignant, gripping—it is the determined journey of one male couple to parenthood—a journey many male couples yearn to take. By sharing their story, Ken and Sam display the best of family values in the gay and lesbian community. The book has best-seller qualities, with broad human appeal that will tug at the heart strings of all sensitive people.”—–David P. McWhirter, M.D. and Andrew M. Mattison, Ph.D., co-authors of “The Male Couple”
“Never before, to my knowledge, has the journey to gay parenthood been better portrayed. The couple’s longing for a son is so deeply felt, so well-written, that “Getting Simon” could serve as Exhibit A in arguing the case for gay adoptions—a joyous, necessary book.—Michael Willhoite, “The Advocate”
