Lesbian Parenting

Lesbian parenting refers to lesbian women who have children, either through biological means such as sperm donation or IVF, or through adoption and surrogacy. It encompasses diverse family structures and arrangements, with the primary focus on providing a supportive, nurturing environment for children. Lesbian parents often navigate legal and social considerations, but research shows that children raised by lesbian parents typically have healthy emotional, social, and psychological development comparable to those raised by heterosexual parents. The emphasis is on loving, stable caregiving regardless of parental sexual orientation.
