          Abstract

          Resumo Este estudo visa compreender o processo de construção e a experiência da parentalidade em quatro casais homossexuais. Foram entrevistados três casais de homens e um casal de mulheres, com idades entre 30 e 50 anos, que tinham filhos nessa relação. Os dados foram examinados por meio de uma análise qualitativa consensual (CQR), que gerou 29 categorias, resultando em quatro domínios: identidade sexual, vínculo conjugal, processo da parentalidade e exercício da parentalidade. Os resultados sugerem que a parentalidade é exercida com satisfação e responsabilidade; é um meio de inserir o casal na sociedade; é facilitada pelo apoio e complicada pelo preconceito social; caracteriza-se pela flexibilidade nos papéis parentais e prioriza a transmissão de valores de liberdade e respeito às diferenças.

          Abstract This study aims to understand the process of constitution and experience of parenthood in four same-sex couples. We interviewed three gay couples and a lesbian couple, aged between 30 and 50 years who had children in this relationship. We analyzed the data by Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR) and generated 29 categories, grouped into four domains: sexual identity, marital bond, parenting process and parenting experience. Overall results suggest that parenting is experienced with satisfaction and responsibility; is a way of inclusion in society; is facilitated by social support and complicated by social prejudice; is characterized by flexibility in parental roles; gives priority the transmission of values of freedom and respect for differences.

          US National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study: psychological adjustment of 17-year-old adolescents.

          The objective of this study was to document the psychological adjustment of adolescents who were conceived through donor insemination by lesbian mothers who enrolled before these offspring were born in the largest, longest running, prospective, longitudinal study of same-sex-parented families. Between 1986 and 1992, 154 prospective lesbian mothers volunteered for a study that was designed to follow planned lesbian families from the index children's conception until they reached adulthood. Data for the current report were gathered through interviews and questionnaires that were completed by 78 index offspring when they were 10 and 17 years old and through interviews and Child Behavior Checklists that were completed by their mothers at corresponding times. The study is ongoing, with a 93% retention rate to date. According to their mothers' reports, the 17-year-old daughters and sons of lesbian mothers were rated significantly higher in social, school/academic, and total competence and significantly lower in social problems, rule-breaking, aggressive, and externalizing problem behavior than their age-matched counterparts in Achenbach's normative sample of American youth. Within the lesbian family sample, no Child Behavior Checklist differences were found among adolescent offspring who were conceived by known, as-yet-unknown, and permanently unknown donors or between offspring whose mothers were still together and offspring whose mothers had separated. Adolescents who have been reared in lesbian-mother families since birth demonstrate healthy psychological adjustment. These findings have implications for the clinical care of adolescents and for pediatricians who are consulted on matters that pertain to same-sex parenting.

            Parenting intentions and desires among childless lesbian, gay, and heterosexual individuals.

            Parenthood is one of the most universal and highly valued experiences of American adults. However, lesbian and gay adults in the United States are much less likely than heterosexual adults to be parents. Our goal was to explore the reasons why this is the case. Using nationally representative data from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), we studied parenting intentions, desires, and attitudes of childless lesbian, gay, and heterosexual individuals 15 to 44 years of age. We found that gay men and lesbian women were less likely than matched heterosexual peers to express desire for parenthood. Moreover, gay men who expressed desire to become parents were less likely than heterosexual men to express the intention to become parents; this was not true for women. Despite being less likely to express parenting desires, gay and lesbian participants endorsed the value of parenthood just as strongly as did heterosexual participants. By exploring the psychology of family formation as a function of sexual orientation, these results inform ongoing debates about sexual orientation and parenthood.
