The overall aim of the research was to explore the many facets of the everyday lives of Czech lesbian led families (e.g., variety of forms, motivation factors during transition to parenthood, parenting styles, division of roles, reproduction of gender roles in the family) and provide a deeper insight into the topic in the national context. The data were collected from 20 lesbian mothers (10 family units including both donor insemination and blended type families). Qualitative approach was employed for acquiring and analyzing the data. The research design is based on in-depth joint and individual semi-structured interviews. The concerns and issues faced by a lesbian mothering couple were examined. |
