Abstract A sample of adoptive parents, including an oversampling of lesbian mothers (n = 125), was surveyed regarding their family’s school experiences related to adoption, satisfaction with how the school handled adoption-related issues, and their child’s experiences with teasing at school. Linear and logistic regression analyses showed that lesbian mothers were more likely than heterosexual parents and gay fathers to disclose their child’s adoption status in the school record and to ensure that the school was aware of the child’s adoption. Lesbian mothers were also more likely than heterosexual parents and gay fathers to report talking to teachers about adoption issues. There were no differences as a function of parent sexual orientation regarding rates of children being teased about adoption status. However, rates of teasing regarding child race/ethnicity were higher for children of lesbian mothers and gay fathers than for children of heterosexual parents. The implications of the findings for future research and the provision of services for lesbian mothers are considered.

学校对女同性恋母亲收养的反应

摘要对收养父母进行了抽样调查，其中包括对女同性恋母亲的抽样调查（n = 125），调查了其家庭在收养方面的学校经历，对学校处理收养相关问题的满意度以及孩子在学校取笑的经历。线性和逻辑回归分析表明，女同性恋母亲比异性恋父母和男同性恋父亲更有可能在学校记录中披露孩子的收养状况，并确保学校知道孩子的收养情况。与异性恋父母和同性恋父亲相比，女同性恋母亲更有可能报告与老师谈论收养问题。对于被嘲弄收养状况的儿童比率，父母亲的性取向没有差异。然而，女同性恋母亲和男同性恋父亲的孩子在种族/族裔方面的取笑率高于异性父母的孩子。考虑了研究结果对未来研究的意义以及为女同性恋母亲提供服务的意义。
