This thesis by Anna Malmquist examines the dynamics and experiences of lesbian families in contemporary Sweden, particularly focusing on the changes in legal and social contexts since the early 2000s. The study investigates the interactions between family members and their surroundings, as well as the challenges and opportunities faced by these families. It draws on interviews with 118 parents and 12 children, analyzing their narratives through discursive psychology and thematic analysis. Key topics include encounters with healthcare professionals, second-parent adoption processes, equality in parenting roles, and children's perspectives on fathers and donors.

Ce travail s’intéresse à l’influence mutuelle de l’identité lesbienne et de l’expérience de la parentalité. L’analyse s’appuie sur treize entretiens avec des personnes lesbiennes ayant un ou des enfants issu·es d’un projet lesbo-conjugal ou d’une relation hétérosexuelle antérieure, ainsi que sur l’étude d’une partie de la presse lesbienne apparue au tournant des années 1980.Ce mémoire cherche à comprendre comment la distance entre l’homoparentalité et la norme hétérosexuelle rend difficile l’accès et l’expérience de la parentalité pour les lesbiennes – et comment certains facteurs peuvent constituer des conditions rendant possible la transgression de cette norme.Il questionne également l’influence de la socialisation féministe et lesbienne dans la manière de concevoir la parentalité, et la façon dont elle s’actualise dans l’expérience lesboparentale, ainsi que dans l’accès aux espaces de socialisation et de politisation autour des parentalités minoritaires.

"The practice of adoption has changed dramatically over the past half century, with profound implications for children and families. Perhaps the most remarkable and controversial transformation during this time has been the growing willingness of adoption professionals to place children with sexual-minority individuals and couples. Yet, despite considerable research showing that lesbians and gay men can make good parents, they continue to experience difficulties and barriers in many parts of the country in their efforts to adopt and raise children. Indeed, while progress in this area has been significant, it has been impeded by the homophobia and heterosexist attitudes of adoption professionals and the judiciary; by numerous stereotypes and misconceptions about parenting by lesbians and gay men, and by a lack of adequate guidelines and training for establishing best practice standards in working with this rapidly growing group of adoptive parents. Adoption by Lesbians and Gay Men explores the gamut of historical, legal, sociological, psychological, social casework, and personal issues related to adoption by sexual-minority individuals and couples. Leading experts in a variety of fields address--and often shatter--the controversies, myths, and misconceptions hindering efforts by these individuals to adopt and raise children. What makes this book all the more valuable is that it provides insights and specific recommendations for establishing empirically validated best practices for working with an important sector of our society, for treating all prospective and current parents fairly and equally, and, perhaps most importantly, for increasing a still largely untapped resource for providing families for children who need them." --
