未來的家，能有怎樣的可能性？成為一家人，必須具備什麼條件？同志家庭、代孕生子、跨性別家庭、親職協作、自主單親40年研究證據支持背書　逐一打破主流家庭價值框架迷思★ 獻給多元自由的臺灣 ★ 獨家收錄中文版作者序 ★尋求關係永續新可能，真實動人的非典型成家實例分享只要有愛，我們就是一家人　「多元的家庭結構並不代表家庭的衰落；相反地，家庭的多元化讓人看到了更多我們原先所無法想像的、豐富的可能性。在本書中，葛倫伯克教授說明了許多創造孩子或成為父母的新方法；她也檢視這些革新如何在過去四十多年間演變，將一些原本不為人知的家庭帶到陽光下。在陳述過程中，她用上了許多鮮明的、細膩的感情敘事。就本質上來說，這是一本關於愛的書。」――安德魯．所羅門（Andrew Solomon），《背離親緣》（Far From the Tree）作者「我寫這本書，是為了那些對新型態家庭感興趣的人。我希望他們能在這本書裡找到他們尋找的答案。……我衷心希望這本書能夠改變反對者的想法，因為研究結果已經顯示，新型態家庭所面對的問題並非來自於家庭內部，而是源自於他人的偏見以及不了解。」――節錄自台灣中文版作者序──────────────────────────────────────────在過去的幾十年裡，我們對家庭形式的理解經歷了一場革命，當今的家庭已不再是單一定義。從同志父母到代孕、捐贈受孕和試管嬰兒，無一不挑戰傳統對家庭的想像。但是，這些改變對孩子本身的成長，是否會造成影響？為了回答這個問題，劍橋大學家庭研究中心的蘇珊．葛倫伯克教授訪問了女同志母親、男同志父親、自主性單親父母、捐贈受孕父母、共同父母、跨性別父母、代孕者和捐贈者，更將調查重點放在他們的孩子身上，透過對孩子的長期訪談，來探究他們是否與傳統家庭的孩子一樣健康長大。她發現，答案是肯定的。家庭成員間的羈絆──而非家庭的形式──才是創造平安快樂未來的關鍵。蘇珊的研究證明了，重要的是家庭本身如何運作，而不是如何形成；無論家庭形式為何，只要用心經營，孩子都可以有一個充滿愛和安全的家──儘管這些家庭的孩子往往會面臨他人的偏見。20世紀70年代，蘇珊首次踏入這塊研究領域，是因為她讀到一篇關於女同志母親的孩子被強行奪走的報導。這樣的悲劇，致使她一直努力不懈地挑戰陳腐的觀念，防止更多家庭被無端拆散。本書講述了這些家庭的故事，描寫他們的掙扎和勝利，同時讚許更多新

「生命因困苦而豐富，愛則因為必須努力而深刻。」「珍貴的並不是苦難本身，而是我們對苦難如同珍珠般的包容。」 養兒育女，絕不是完美主義者的遊戲。 西方有個諺語：「蘋果落地，離樹不遠」，也就是「有其父必有其子」。但事實卻是，世上有許多孩子都落到了別處，可能是幾座園子外，也可能落到世界的另一端，完全背離父母的預期和想像，而這些家庭也因此走入完全不同的人生。 作者窮盡十年時間，針對三百個擁有異常孩子的家庭進
