Gay, Lesbian and Heterosexual Adoptive Families

This report presents the key findings of the Gay, Lesbian and Heterosexual Adoptive Families: Family relationships, child adjustment and adopters' experiences study. The study was the first to examine families in the UK in which children live, from early childhood, with their adoptive gay fathers, lesbian mothers and heterosexual parents. The study focused on the quality of parent-child relationships, parental well-being and children's psychological development, with the aim of producing robust evidence.
