About this ebook
Dan Savage's nationally syndicated sex advice column, "Savage Love," enrages and excites more than four million people each week. In The Kid, Savage tells a no-holds-barred, high-energy story of an ordinary American couple who wants to have a baby. Except that in this case the couple happens to be Dan and his boyfriend. That fact, in the face of a society enormously uneasy with gay adoption, makes for an edgy, entertaining, and illuminating read. When Dan and his boyfriend are finally presented with an infant badly in need of parenting, they find themselves caught up in a drama that extends well beyond the confines of their immediate world. A story about confronting homophobia, falling in love, getting older, and getting a little bit smarter, The Kid is a book about the very human desire to have a family.

Great book. Great humor and so accurate. My husband and I did a closed adoption in FL. whether it's open or closed the paperwork and emotions are the same. Dan captures the hopes, fears, dreams, hardships, and joys of adoption. From the effects of your relationship to family reactions what a rollercoaster ride. I remember how lost, confused, and scared we were throughout the adoption processes and wishing someone had written this stuff down. Thanks for sharing your story, and to Terry for letting you.
