The national lesbian family study: 1. Interviews with prospective mothers.

Abstract: This first report from a longitudinal study of 84 lesbian families, 70 of which include a co-mother as well as a birthmother whose child was conceived by donor insemination, presents interview data on parental relationships, social supports, pregnancy motives and preferences, stigmatization concerns, and coping strategies. Methodological limitations of studying this special population are noted, and plans for follow-up interviews over the course of 25 years are outlined.

“…From anecdotal stories and interview studies, it is known that the main concerns of lesbian women who are thinking about getting children are the possible negative implications of raising a child in a non-traditional family in a heterosexist and homophobic society (Gartrell et al, 1996;Leiblum et al, 1995;Weeks et al, 2001). Lesbian women are concerned about their children's possible disadvantage in their relationships outside the family caused by the prejudice they would encounter from their peers (Touroni & Coyle, 2002).…”

Ancak bu durum lezbiyen çift için yasal bir risk oluşturabilir.…”

“…In de literatuur worden ervaringen met homonegativiteit en het gevoel dat je je gedrag als homoseksuele man of vrouw moet verdedigen of rechtvaardigen ook wel minderheidsstress genoemd (Bascoe & Richman, 2009;Bos et al, 2004;Hatzenbuehler, 2009;Meyer & Northridge, 2007). Uit een Amerikaans longitudinaal onderzoek onder lesbische moeders en hun kinderen weten we dat toen de vrouwen meer dan 20 jaar geleden zwanger waren van hun kinderen zij ook bijna allemaal aangaven dat zij er tegen opzagen om hun kind op te voeden in een samenleving waarin heteroseksualiteit de norm is, en alles wat daar van afwijkt als anders of minder wordt gezien (Gartrell et al, 1996). In een Nederlands longitudinaal onderzoek naar lesbisch ouderschap bleek dat de meeste vrouwen dergelijke ervaringen ook hebben en werd er ook een samenhang gevonden met bijvoorbeeld opvoedingsstress (Bos et al 2004).…”
