“…Therefore, gay adoptive fathers' likelihood of displaying critical/minimization could represent a greater need to defend against the more severe societal prejudice directed toward gay versus lesbian adoptive parents. Thus, by keeping the psychological presence of the biological conception (represented by their children's birth parents) at a distance, parents affirmed the superiority of "ties of the heart," or intentional kinship, and countered a heteronormative construction of family (Costa et al, 2021;Messina & D'Amore, 2018b). The overrepresentation of a critical/minimization position among Belgian participants can also be understood in relation to their children's age (Carone et al, 2021).…”

“…Even when same-gender couples live in countries where same-gender joint adoption is legal, heterosexist institutional discrimination and negative attitudes of individual social workers may be encountered Mellish et al, 2013). For example, in Belgium one policy that disproportionally limits the access of same-gender couples to adoption is the "gay quota" system, which stipulates that a maximum of only 20% of approved adopters on waitlists can be occupied by LG prospective parents (Messina & D'Amore, 2018b;Aromatario et al, 2020). Another element that may curtail the chances of an approved samegender couple having a child placed with them is the right granted to birth parents to choose the type of family structure in which their child is placed (Brodzinsky & Pertman, 2012).…”
