  • Abstract:
  • In recent years, the composition of family structures in the United States has undergone significant transformation, showcasing an increasing degree of diversity and inclusivity (Gates, 2015; Patterson, Farr & Goldberg, 2021). Among the emerging family configurations are those led by LGBTQ+ parents, who face distinctive challenges and opportunities in child-rearing (Goldberg, 2014). Central to these evolving dynamics is the profound influence of the family environment on identity formation, particularly in the realms of gender, sexual orientation, and familial interactions (Goldberg & Smith, 2013; Brodzinsky, 2016). As societal attitudes and legal frameworks concerning LGBTQ+ rights continue to evolve, it becomes crucial to understand how children adopted by LGBTQ+ parents navigate their identity development (Patterson, 2017; Patterson & Goldberg, 2016).
