&lt;p&gt;Human Rights Campaign Foundation's "All Children - All Families" initiative, designed to increase LGBT adoption, hosts a press conference on November 25 to introduce an awareness campaign targeting potential gay and lesbian foster and adoptive parents. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Speaker:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Daniel McNeil, adoptive parent, Washington, DC.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;November is National Adoption Month and the All Children  All Families initiative, launched in 2007 by the HRC Family Project, works to ensure that all qualified prospective parents who wish to open their homes and hearts to children and youth have the opportunity to do so, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.  The program seeks to enhance LGBT competence among child welfare professionals and educate LGBT people about opportunities to become foster or adoptive parents to waiting children.  Thirty-four agencies from across the U.S are currently participating, and more than a dozen agencies are close to earning the seal of recognition.  More information about the initiative can be found at www.hrc.org/acaf.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Complete video at: &lt;a href="http://fora.tv/2008/06/05/Susan_Linn_The_Case_for_Make_Believe"&gt;fora.tv&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Director of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood Susan Linn talks about her FTC complaint filed against Disney's Baby Einstein as "false and deceptive marketing."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From the author of Consuming Kids, a clarion call for preserving play in our material world, a book every parent will want to read.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the nationally celebrated Consuming Kids, Susan Linn provided an unsparing look at how modern childhood is molded by commercialism. The resulting threat to children's play is the subject of her timely and fascinating new book.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In The Case for Make Believe, Linn argues that, while play is crucial to human development, nurturing creative play in modern-day America is not only countercultural--it's a threat to corporate profits.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At the heart of the book are gripping stories of children at home, at school, and in a therapist's office using make believe to grapple with real-life issues from entering kindergarten to the death of a sibling.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In an age when toys come from TV shows, dress-up means wearing Disney costumes, and parents believe Baby Einstein is educational, Linn lays out the inextricable links between play, creativity, and health, showing us why we need to protect our children from corporations that aim to limit their imaginations - Cody's Books&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Susan Linn is the associate director of the Media Center at Judge Baker Children's Center, instructor in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and director of The Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kate Moses, co-founder of Salon.com's daily column Mothers Who Think, references the struggle of balance with hyper-parenting and setting boundaries for children.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this novel Wintering, and in her work with Camille Peri on the national bestseller and American Book Award-winning anthology Mothers Who Think: Tales of Real-Life Parenthood, Kate Moses elevates the discussion of motherhood and shows that it gives women more to think about, not less.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kate Moses, a San Francisco native, worked as an editor at Berkeley's acclaimed North Point Press and as literary director of Intersection for the Arts. In 1997 she teamed up with journalist Camille Peri to found Salon.com's popular daily website "Mothers Who Think" - Grace Cathedral&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Complete video at: &lt;a href="http://fora.tv/2008/04/02/Changing_American_Family"&gt;fora.tv&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sociology professor William Doherty examines differences in U.S. family structure across economic classes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Changing American Family&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The writings of social scientists and their popularizers reflect the dramatic changes that have taken place in marriage, child rearing, and family life in the United States. Where such writers once spoke simply of "the family," they now speak of "the diversity of family forms" and the rapidity with which those forms can change.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This panel offers objective and unsentimental views of the family and addresses basic questions about family life in the United States today. How do popular myths about family life compare with verifiable realities? What constitutes a marriage or a divorce? How do contemporary adult work patterns affect family life? Featuring Doyle McCarthy, professor of sociology at Fordham University and author of Knowledge as Culture; William Doherty, professor and director of the Marriage and Family Therapy Program, Department of Family Social Science, University of Minnesota; Arlene Skolnick, visiting scholar, Sociology Department, NYU and author of Embattled Paradise; and Andrew J. Cherlin, John Hopkins University professor and author of Public and Private Families: An Introduction - The New School&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;William Doherty is professor and director of the Marriage and Family Therapy Program, Department of Family Social Science at the University of Minnesota. He is involved in community based projects on families and parenting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Complete video at: &lt;a href="http://fora.tv/2008/04/08/Amy_Richards_and_Dan_Savage_in_Conversation"&gt;fora.tv&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Advice columnists Dan Savage and Amy Richards argue that abstinence-only sex education does not adequately instruct teens on the realities of sexual health. This program contains sexually explicit language.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the July 18th, 2004 issue of The New York Times Magazine, feminist activist Amy Richards gave her account of deciding to undergo "selective reduction." The procedure reduces the number of fetuses carried by a pregnant woman - in Richards' case, from triplets to one baby.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Her controversial choice reignited debates about reproductive freedom and the ethics of choice. Richards recounts the backlash of the article and the many challenges of raising her son in Opting In: Having a Child Without Losing Yourself. Richards is co-founder of The Third Wave Foundation and has written feminist.com's advice column "Ask Amy" since 1995.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Internationally-syndicated columnist Dan Savage dispenses with taboos when writing about sex and relationships. Since 1991, his column "Savage Love" has offered advice that examines and dispels conservative models of love, sex, and family.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With great humor, Savage encourages a "good, giving, and game" approach to safe sexual experimentation and skepticism of "simplistic" views of monogamy. Dan Savage is also a contributor to "This American Life" and editorial director of The Stranger, the Seattle weekly that first published his popular column.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;His book The Kid relates Savage's experiences adopting a baby boy with his partner. The Commitment: Love, Sex, Marriage, and My Family, his memoir of family, includes Savage's commentary on the gay marriage debate - City Arts and Lectures&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Daniel Savage is an American sex advice columnist, author, media pundit, journalist, and newspaper editor. Savage is best known for penning the internationally syndicated relationship and sex advice column Savage Love. Its tone is humorous, profane, and often hostile to social conservatives, as in the Santorum controversy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Savage has often been the subject of controversy regarding his opinions that pointedly clash with both traditional conservative moral values and those put forth by what Savage has been known to call the "gay establishment".&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Comic book writer Gerard Jones addresses concerns many parents have about violent video games.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This excerpt is taken from a panel discussion entitled "Taming Gaming in Your Home," presented by the Commonwealth Club of California.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Taming Gaming in Your Home: Honest Guide to Today's Video Games."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Video and computer games are becoming the entertainment choice of many children as well as adults. Parents are concerned about the amount of time their children spend with games as well as the appropriateness of the content.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Parents should play an important role in guiding their children's video game playing habits, and playing computer and video games can be a positive family experience. Our expert panel covers issues of content rating systems, parental controls in consoles and PCs, advice for checking in and better understanding your family's gaming habits, and how to participate - The Commonwealth Club&lt;/p&gt;
