good early book on gay parents

I read this book while doing an internship at the National Center for Lesbian Rights in San Francisco. The editor, F. Bozett, was an expert on gay fathers just as Cynthia Patterson is an expert on lesbian mothers. The book covers many relevant subjects such as gay foster parents, gay parents in heterosexual marriages, etc. ... This book is designed more for researchers and college students. Still, I think Mr. Gay John Doe and Ms. Lesbian Jane Doe would find it accessible and interesting.
