At Bridgetown Baby, we are honored to work with a vast spectrum of family cultures and geometries. With Papas and Partners Day (aka “Father’s Day”) around the corner, and in light of the binary ways in which our broader culture recognizes parents, we see clearly the need to improve our online resources to better represent the diversity of the clients we serve and the diversity of family/parenting experiences across the continuum. 

The stories featured in the Partners and Papas Day issue of the Bridgetown Baby e-newsletter were donated lovingly by our clients and friends, and we are so grateful for these gifts. We hope that, while they come largely from a cis-male perspective, they will be relatable to a wider community of partners and parents.

We also hope that you, our readers, will help us to continue to diversify! Are there resources (books, online, local) that you’ve found helpful in climbing the parenting learning curve as a LGBTQIA family?

We invite you to read - and add to - the resources shared by members of the Bridgetown Baby community on our Facebook page.
