Growing up in a lesbian family : effects on child developmentTasker, Fiona L. ; Golombok, Susan"Presenting a unique longitudinal study of 25 children raised in lesbian mother families, and a comparison group raised by single heterosexual mothers, the book lays out the developmental effects of ... growing up in a same-sex household - and confronts a range of myths and stereotypes along the way." "The book focuses on the follow-up interviews with grown-up children who took part in the study - all of whom were born to heterosexual partnerships but whose mothers later entered lesbian relationships. Shedding light on the quality of their family life, young adults share what it was like to grow up with a lesbian mother and her partner and discuss their level of awareness during childhood of growing up in a lesbian-headed home. Also considered are ways children from lesbian mother families integrate their family background with their school environment and cope with prejudice." "The study's painstakingly compiled findings clearly demonstrate that children from lesbian mother families are no more likely than others to experience mental health problems in adulthood, children generally form positive and mutually beneficial bonds with their mothers' female partners, social stigmatization does not prevent children from enjoying good relationships with peers, and children of lesbians are not more likely to identify as homosexual or bisexual themselves." "Expanding our notion of what "family" really means, this volume has important implications for child custody disputes involving a lesbian mother, as well as adoption and foster-parenting policy and issues of access to assisted reproduction procedures, such as donor insemination. It will be welcomed by professionals, educators, and students in psychology, social work, and sociology; others interested in the long-term influences of childhood experiences on adult life; and readers in women's studies and lesbian/gay studies."--JacketType of material - book ; adult, seriousPublication and manufacture - New York : Guilford Press, [1997]Language - englishISBN - 1-57230-170-8; 978-1-57230-170-2; 1-57230-412-XCOBISS.SI-ID - 161620483
