A recent study reveals that donor-conceived children raised by lesbian parents exhibit psychological adjustment similar to their peers from heterosexual families. Conducted through the U.S. National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study, which tracked 70 offspring over decades, the findings suggest that the children fare well irrespective of whether the sperm donor was known, anonymous, or had an open-identity policy. The research underscores the resilience of these families, particularly amid escalating challenges and scrutiny faced by the LGBTQ+ community in the U.S.
Having explored the long-term psychological adjustment of donor-conceived offspring from lesbian families, it becomes evident that they achieve similar psychosocial outcomes as commonly seen in offspring from heterosexual families.
The study emphasizes that the psychological well-being of donor-conceived offspring does not vary significantly with donor type, be it known, anonymous, or open-identity, showcasing the resilience of those raised in lesbian families.
