NPOV[edit]

The following section was deleted as it injects op-ed commentary into this article:
"This is an interesting celebrity example of many cases of adoption by gay parents. This is an important social commentary, considering bans and attempts to ban gay adoption in Florida and many other states. Anyone interested in the story after seeing the movie should probably read the novel version rather than the novelette."

How many books[edit]

I'm confused - was this one book or two? Is the "story" the novel, the novelette or both? --Ephilei (talk) 03:05, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused too. This article initially says it "is a novella", but then says "The novelette was expanded into a novel". Are there actually 3 versions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:1BA0:A300:3E3C:D7AB:A051:AC19 (talk) 16:04, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

homosexuality[edit]

uhhh, is this true or vandalism? because I could see it either way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.118.144.236 (talk) 23:17, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
