Adolescent children of lesbian mothers report as good quality of life as those with heterosexual parents, reports a study in the January Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics, the official journal of the Society for Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. The journal is published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, a part of Wolters Kluwer Health.
“Adolescent offspring in planned lesbian families do not show differences in quality of life when compared with adolescents reared in heterosexual families,” concludes the new research, led by Loes van Gelderen, MSc, of University of Amsterdam.
