However, there was one major obstacle: he wasn't a woman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Sean met a handsome Australian man in New York City, his dreams of marriage and parenthood suddenly became a reality. The only things standing in his way were outdated marriage laws, hundreds of thousands of dollars, and a healthy dose of internalized homophobia. Despite facing intense family drama, depression, and a difficult move to the other side of the world, Sean persevered and succeeded in becoming a father to boy-girl twins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat happens when the traditional parenting rules, which have been in place for tens of thousands of years, simply don't apply? Not Like Other Dads is a raw, rollicking memoir about gay parents raising kids without a map—or nap. Hilarious and tender, Sean's story helps all of us celebrate who we truly are, empowering straight and queer parents alike to rewrite the parenting script.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for Not Like Other Dads:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Will have you laughing, crying, and feeling deeply moved by the true power of love.
