A recent study of children in lesbian families indicates that these kids have strong self-esteem, confidence, and achieve academically. Measures in the research also show children with lesbian parents rarely develop behavioral problems - such as rule-breaking and aggression. This is the first research of its kind, studying only planned lesbian families - or households in which the mothers identified themselves as lesbian at the time of artificial insemination. Data was collected from 154 women in 84 families who underwent artificial insemination to start a family.
Over 200 lesbian parents and their offspring have completed the first ever national survey of artificial reproductive technology [ART] kids - conducted by Children of Lesbians and Gays Everywhere [COLAGE]. The survey asks about donor relationship, talking to offspring about their donor, and situations in which authorities are unaware and/or unaccommodating to lesbian and gay families.

Your help is needed for a research study on families with adolescents!
This important research project is being conducted by a research team from Claremont Graduate University. Participants receive a _$20_ gift card for completing a 20-minute, confidential, online survey about themselves and their families. The results of this research will be used to gain a better understanding of the dynamics of family relationships. There are only three criteria for participation:
1. There must be at least two adults and one adolescent child (age 12-17) in each family.
