“…To date, these questions do not appear seem to have been addressed by researchers or practitioners in the field. Given how recently these realities have emerged in our laws and societies, the experiences of separated lesbian mothers who came to terms with their sexual orientation before becoming a parent and creating a blended family remain indeed underexplored (Amato, 2010; Lavoie, Bédard, & Petit, 2016). Few analyses of family life have examined this structure, either through the lens of blended families or same‐sex parenting scholarship (Ganong & Coleman, 2017).…”

This article presents results of a qualitative study of blended lesbian-headed families with children from previous same-sex relationships. Conducted in partnership with the LGBT Family Coalition, this study adopts an ecosystemic approach to document the experiences of parental separation and family blending of 17 (n = 17) lesbian mothers and stepmothers in the province of Quebec, Canada. The challenges these women face in these periods of transition, particularly in terms of postseparation co-parenting and family reorganization, are analysed with particular concern for the daily stresses of heterosexism and membership in a sexual minority. Various strategies used to overcome these challenges, the positive outcomes of creating blended families and the stepmother's place and role within the family are examined. A discussion of the support and intervention needs of these families concludes the paper.

Cet article propose une mise en récit du parcours de deux chercheur·e·s dont les intérêts de recherche et d’enseignement portent sur les familles issues de la diversité sexuelle. En mettant à l’épreuve le modèle hétéronormatif traditionnel, les familles homoparentales, notamment celles qui ont recours à la procréation assistée, font émerger de nouvelles trames familiales et relationnelles, en plus de rendre visibles les normes culturelles associées à la parenté, à la parentalité et à la concrétisation du désir d’enfant. Dès lors, une compréhension de la diversité familiale en adéquation avec les pratiques sociales contemporaines s’actualise par une prise en compte de la pluralité des expériences vécues par les parents de même sexe et de leurs enfants.
