Carlos A. Ball chronicles the stories of LGBT parents who, in seeking\u003cbr\u003eto gain legal recognition of and protection for their relationships with their\u003cbr\u003echildren, have fundamentally changed how American law defines and regulates\u003cbr\u003eparenthood. To this day, some courts are still not able to look beyond sexual\u003cbr\u003eorientation and gender identity in cases involving LGBT parents and their\u003cbr\u003echildren. Yet on the whole, Ball's stories are of progress and transformation: \u003cbr\u003eas a result of these pioneering LGBT parent litigants, the law is increasingly\u003cbr\u003erecognizing the wide diversity in American familial structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarlos A.
