“…Finally, several studies identified a series of challenges encountered by same-sex couples in their process toward parenthood, from social stigma and legal biases in the recognition of their suitability as parents, as well as in their recognition as parents, to difficulties in gaining support and validation for their parental goals from the their families of origin and communities [50][51][52][53][54].…”

This study examines romantic attachment, internalized sexual stigma, relationship satisfaction, and motives for parenthood in a sample of 313 Italian lesbian women (47.9%) and gay men (52.1%) aged 18–71 years (M = 36.2; SD = 11.9) and in same-sex relationships. The following hypotheses were tested: that romantic attachment is positively correlated with internalized stigma and motives to not have children, while it is negatively correlated with relationship satisfaction; that relationship satisfaction is negatively correlated with internalized stigma and motives for parenthood; that internalized stigma is negatively correlated with motives for parenthood; and that relationship satisfaction mediates the relationships between romantic attachment and motives for parenthood and between internalized stigma and motives for parenthood. The results strongly support the hypotheses. Furthermore, the results indicate that the lesbian participants reported lower levels of avoidance and internalized stigma and higher levels of relationship satisfaction and motives to not have children, and the participants in civil unions reported lower levels of anxiety and internalized stigma and higher levels of relationship satisfaction and motives to not have children. Taken together, our findings contribute to the growing body of research on LG parenthood and may inform social policy and psychological support for LG individuals pursuing parenthood.

“…Past studies have identified a series of challenges for same-sex parents D'Amore & Baiocco, 2014). As Ritenhouse (2011) explained, LGB parents may have to face social stigma or legal biases concerning their suitability as parents or simply be unrecognized as parents because of heteronormativity (the social bias assuming that everyone is heterosexual).…”

“…Becoming a parent involves more difficulties and challenges for gay or lesbian couples than it does for heterosexual couples, as same-sex couples experience pressures and prejudice from the social context in which they enter parenthood often in the absence of support from their families of origin (Chabot & Ames, 2004;Ross, 2005). Futhermore these parents need to overcome legal and other costs related to surrogacy and other ARTs that need a level of organization and financial commitment that are generally not required for heterosexual parents (D'Amore & Baiocco, 2014).…”

The present study focuses upon an early step in the transition to parenthood when partners start to plan their pregnancies. We aim to understand the determinants of coparenting in a triadic interactive system prior to conception, exploring the role of partners' attachment histories in their coordination of pre-conception coparenting behaviours. We also wondered how dyadic adjustment of the conjugal couple might interact with partners' attachment similarity in predicting coparenting behaviour. We recruited 111 unmarried Lesbian, Gay and Heterosexuals couples across Italy (N = 49) and Belgium (N = 62), resulting in 222 total participants (64 Gay; 62 Lesbians; 96 Heterosexuals). For each couple, we computed a Couple Average Attachment Security (CAAS) score and a Couple Difference in Attachment Security (CDAS) score. Our results revealed a significant interaction effect between couples' average attachment security and their intra-couple differences in attachment security. We found that partners' average level of attachment security impacted their pre-conception coparental alliance, only when both partners had similar levels of attachment security. Results showed that similar patterns of attachment security between partners predicted the quality of coparental interactions irrespective of whether the potential parenting couple comprised two mothers, two fathers or a heterosexual mother and father.
