Abstract We explored parenting desires, parenting intentions, and anticipation of stigma upon parenthood in a sample of 257 self-identified lesbian, bisexual, and heterosexual childfree women in Portugal. No differences between the groups were observed concerning parenting desires. However, lesbian and bisexual women reported lower intentions to have children than their heterosexual counterparts. Although lesbian women considered themselves to have a higher chance of being victims of social stigma as mothers, this was not associated with their parenting desires. Furthermore, younger lesbian women intended to have children to a greater extent than did older lesbian women; relational status did not relate to lesbian women’s parenting intentions, desires, or anticipation of stigma. Overall, this study contributes to knowledge about family formation processes among Portuguese women diverse in sexual identity.

葡萄牙女同性恋，双性恋和异性恋女性的育儿愿望，育儿意图和对父母污名化的预期

摘要我们在葡萄牙的257名自我识别的女同性恋，双性恋和异性无子女妇女样本中，探讨了父母的教养愿望，教养意图和对父母的污名化预期。两组之间在育儿愿望方面没有差异。但是，女同性恋者和双性恋妇女的生育意愿要低于异性恋者。尽管女同性恋者认为自己有更大的机会成为母亲受到社会耻辱的受害者，但这与她们的育儿愿望无关。此外，年轻的女同性恋者比年长的女同性恋者更希望生育孩子。关系地位与女同性恋者的育儿意图，欲望或污名化预期无关。总体，
