Beyond Choice : Family and Kinship in the Australian lesbian and gay �baby boom�Dempsey, Deborah, DDempsey@groupwise.swin.edu.au January 2006 (has links)
Planned parenthood within the lesbian and gay communities attracts considerable attention internationally among researchers, the media, and law and policy-makers. This Australian study situates the phenomenon�also known as the �gayby boom��within the contemporary Australian socio-legal setting and the more international historical and political contexts of Gay and Women�s Liberation. It investigates how beliefs about nature, kinship, the sexed and reproductive body and political ideologies of family intersect in lesbians and gay men�s decision-making and stories of living their lives as parents. Two fields of intellectual enquiry are generative: the interest in families of choice and family practices within sociology and the post-modern anthropological critique of Western kinship in the era of assisted reproduction.
This is a qualitative study informed by a critical humanist approach. It is based on in-depth and key informant interviews conducted with 20 lesbians and 15 gay men (parents, �donor/dads� and prospective parents) as well as 7 people engaged in legal, health or therapeutic support to prospective and current parents. Also incorporated into the analysis are a range of other primary sources, including a substantial media debate, submissions to an assisted reproduction law reform process and primary documents supplied by participants such as parenting agreements and letters.
The study argues for the need to look beyond unitary concepts such as families of choice when theorising lesbian and gay parenthood. It is important to consider the historical, political and biographical conditions that make some notions of relatedness and decisions about having children seem more feasible, and indeed, natural than others. It explores how various notions of biological relatedness remain important in the formation of parent/child relationships, and the extent to which lesbians and gay men rely on strategic appeals to choice and biology in enacting families. Continuing constraints on who is eligible for clinically assisted reproductive technology in Australia lead to imaginative and harmonious, yet also fraught reproductive relationships.

The advantages and obstacles of having been raised by a gay or lesbian parentHilt, Jennifer Falconi 01 January 2006 (has links)
In an exploratory study 10 adult children, with at least one identifiable gay or lesbian parent, were interviewed and asked to discuss their childhood experiences growing up in diverse families. Understanding the introspective views of adult children with gay or lesbian parents will allow social workers the ability to tailor services to ensure the needs of these new family constellations are met.

Same-sex couples and adoption : a study of two families.De Wet, Leigh. January 2007 (has links)
Increasingly, same-sex couples are choosing to become parents. According to Patterson (1992, cited in Mallon, 1997), it is estimated that in the United States of America alone, there are between six and 14 million children being raised by gay and lesbian couples. This study explored the experiences of same-sex parents as they moved through the adoption process, and once they had become parents. Two couples (a gay male couple and a lesbian couple) were interviewed. The study used an ecological theoretical framework in order to understand the myriad influences on the individuals' and couples' experiences. The Voice-Centred Relational Method (Mauthner & Doucet, cited in Ribbens & Edwards, 1998) was used to analyse the data qualitatively. Major themes that emerged from the data include the ways in which parents negotiate roles with partners, the impact of societal reactions (and heteronormativity) on the couples, the quality of relationships between family members and the influence that these had on the couples' experience of parenting. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2007.

Lesbian mothers' lived psychological experience of planned motherhood in three South African cities : an exploratory studyVan Ewyk, Johanna Jacquetta 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)-- Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The concept of what constitutes a “normal” family has changed within recent years. This is
because various family forms have been found viable. The current study is exploratory and
focuses on the planned lesbian family. It aims to describe lesbian mothers’ lived
psychological experience of planned motherhood.
Utilising a feminist phenomenological approach, the narratives of 10 lesbian couples were
obtained. Their emotional experiences are discussed under four headings, namely; the
decision to become mothers; the actual process of becoming mothers; motherhood experience;
and the anticipation of and actual responses to lesbian motherhood, lesbian families and
children of lesbian mothers.
Significant findings reveal the decision making involved in becoming mothers; the influence
the type of donor has on the couple and their child; the joys and challenges of raising children;
the fair division of childcare and household chores; the importance of partner support; the
level of bonding with social and adoptive mothers; society’s lack of parental validation; the
issue of homophobia and the preparation of their children against homophobia.
Lesbian mothers seem to experience motherhood in very similar ways to heterosexual
mothers, except that they do not seem as lonely and isolated. The aim of this study was not
only to explore the experiences of lesbian mothers, but also to give them a voice within the
psychological literature and to strive towards the acceptance of diverse families within
mainstream psychology and the broader South African community. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die konsep van wat ’n “normale“ familie behels het in die afgelope jare verander. Die rede is
dat verskeie gesinsvorme as lewensvatbaar bevind is. Die gesinsvorm onder bestudering is die
beplande lesbiese gesin. Hierdie was ’n verkennende studie wat gefokus het op die
beskrywing van lesbiese ouers se sielkundige ervaring van beplande lesbiese moederskap.
Daar is gebruik gemaak van ’n feministies-fenomenologiese benadering om die verhale van
10 lesbiese paartjies te verkry. Hulle ervarings word onder vier adelings bespreek, naamlik;
die besluit om moeders te word; die werklike proses om moeders te word; moederskap
ervarings; en die verwagte en werklike reaksies tot lesbiese moederskap van lesbiese families
en kinders van lesbiese moeders.
Noemenswaardige bevindings onthul die besluitneming betrokke om moeders te word; die
invloed wat die tipe skenker op die paartjie en hulle kind het; die vreugde en vereistes van
kinders grootmaak; die regverdige verdeling van kindersorg en huishoudelike take; die
belangrikheid van lewensmaat ondersteuning; die krag van kinders se band met sosiale en
aangenome moeders; die samelewing se tekort aan ouerlike bekragtiging; die kwessie van
homofobie en die voorbereiding van hulle kinders hierteen.
Dit wil voorkom of lesbiese moeders moeders in baie opsigte dieselfde ervaar as
heteroseksuele moeders, behalwe dat hulle nie so alleen en geïsoleerd voorkom nie. Die studie
se voorneme was nie net om die ervarings van lesbiese moeders te verken nie, maar ook om
aan hulle ’n stem te bied binne die sielkundige literatuur en om te streef na die aanvaarding
van uiteenlopende gesinsvorme binne hoofstroom sielkunde asook die breër Suid-Afrikaanse
gemeenskap.
