OBJECTIVE To study how adult offspring in planned lesbian-parent families relate to their unknown or known donors. DESIGN Qualitative analyses of the sixth wave of online surveys from a longitudinal study of adult offspring in planned lesbian families, enrolled at conception. SETTING Community-based United States national study. PATIENT(S) The 76 participants were 25-year-old donor insemination (DI) offspring whose lesbian parent(s) enrolled in a prospective longitudinal study when these offspring were conceived. INTERVENTION(S) None. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Offspring were asked about donor type, feelings about permanently unknown donor, satisfaction with and role of known donor, whether relationship with known donor was ongoing, and age of meeting open-identity donor. RESULT(S) This cohort (n = 76) of DI offspring with lesbian parents was among the first generation to reach adulthood. Thirty participants had permanently unknown donors and most participants felt comfortable about not knowing them. Sixteen participants had open-identity donors they had not met. Thirty had currently known donors-met in childhood (n = 22) or after open-identity donor disclosure (n = 8)-of whom two thirds had ongoing relationships with donors, half considered their donors as acquaintances, and nearly half had good feelings about their relationship, although a minority expressed conflicted feelings. CONCLUSION(S) This study of adult DI offspring from planned lesbian families shows that those who knew their donors mainly felt positively about these relationships. Qualitative analyses offered insight into offspring-donor relationships, whose numbers are increasing due to historical and demographic trends.

女同性恋父母的成年后代：他们与精子捐赠者的关系如何？

目的 研究计划中的女同性恋父母家庭中的成年后代与其未知或已知捐赠者的关系。设计 第六波在线调查的定性分析来自对计划中的女同性恋家庭中成年后代的纵向研究，在受孕时登记。SETTING 基于社区的美国国家研究。患者 76 名参与者是 25 岁的供体授精 (DI) 后代，其女同性恋父母在这些后代受孕时参加了一项前瞻性纵向研究。干预措施 无。主要结果测量 后代被询问捐赠者类型、对永久未知捐赠者的感受、已知捐赠者的满意度和角色、与已知捐赠者的关系是否持续，以及与公开身份捐赠者会面的年龄。结果（S） 该队列（n = 76）有女同性恋父母的 DI 后代是第一代成年。30 名参与者的捐赠者永远不为人知，大多数参与者对不认识他们感到很自在。16 名参与者有他们未见过的开放身份捐助者。目前有 30 名已知捐赠者——在童年时期（n = 22）或公开身份捐赠者披露后（n = 8）——其中三分之二与捐赠者保持着持续的关系，一半认为他们的捐赠者是熟人，近一半有好感关于他们的关系，尽管少数人表达了矛盾的感受。结论 这项针对计划中的女同性恋家庭的成年 DI 后代的研究表明，那些认识其捐赠者的人主要对这些关系持积极态度。定性分析提供了对后代捐赠者关系的洞察，
