Happy Father’s Day to those celebrating and remembering those no longer with us. Started day with breakfast in bed, a stop at the local Wicker Man. Ended it by clearing out a drainpipe.

I get the availability of cohort data, but it is 2023 where a diversity of family contexts exist and I wish research studies would reflect the reality of these lived experiences. Are adoptive parent households not a way of understanding contributions to learning and development?
Firstly I want to acknowledge the time and effort taken by the research team in conducting this work, however there is an overwhelming heteronormative perspective of parenthood present in this work 1/n
