where is the equiv gay male study?
are the results - if accurate & comprehensive - "better" due to more stringent internal standards by lesbian couples knowing beforehand they were being studied?
so 78 kids is a sufficient sample set for all of lesbianism?The children of lesbians outscored their peers on social and academic tests in the longest-running study on same-sex families so far - a fact the researchers think opponents of gay adoption should take into consideration.
The U.S. study, published in the journal Pediatrics, followed 78 children since 1986 who were born into lesbian families via sperm donors.
The mothers volunteered for the research before their children were born, and the kids were tested and interviewed at the age of 17.
The mothers were a mishmash of steady couples, separated couples, and single moms who sought out known sperm donors or visited anonymous clinics.
Marital and donor status had no effect on the children's performance, the study found.
The adolescents were tested using the Achenbach's CBCL/6 *1, a standard questionnaire that measures social and academic performance and is widely used in academic studies on children.
Compared to other CBCL stats, the children in this study performed as well, and often better, than their peers raised by heterosexual parents.
