The study will explore the early social experiences and development of infants raised from birth by gay fathers inthe UK, France, and The Netherlands. Infants and parents will be observed interacting when the infants are fourmonths old, and the parents will be interviewed at the same time. When the infants are 12 months old, thequality of their attachments to their parents will be assessed using Ainsworth's Strange Situation procedure. Theparental behaviour of these fathers and the quality of the relationships formed between the infants and theirparents will be compared with those of infants being raised by lesbian and heterosexual couples. All infants willbe conceived using reproductive technologies, including donor insemination and surrogacy, to ensurecomparability. In addition, the study will explore the extent to which the quality of infant-parent attachment atone-year is predicted by individual differences in the parents' behaviour and indices of their social circumstanceswhen the infants are four months old. The study will be the first to examine families where children are raised ingay father families from birth. It will allow us to determine whether infants 'need' women to be involved in theirearly care and emotional lives, as many still believe; and whether infants raised not only by two men, but twomen with same-sex orientation, are as likely to develop normally as those raised from birth by heterosexualparents or by two women with same-sex orientation. Sufficiently large samples will be recruited in each countryto allow exploration of the extent to which legal and cultural differences affect parental behaviour and infantadjustment.

该研究将探讨英国，法国和荷兰同性恋父亲从出生中养育的婴儿的早期社会经历和发展。婴儿和父母在婴儿年龄四个月时就会观察到互动，父母将同时接受采访。当婴儿12个月大时，将使用Ainsworth的奇怪处境程序来评估他们对父母的依恋质量。这些父亲的父母行为以及婴儿与父母之间形成的关系的质量将与女同性恋和异性恋夫妇抚养的婴儿进行比较。所有婴儿都将使用生殖技术（包括捐赠者的授精和代孕）来构思，以确保可靠性。此外，该研究将探讨婴儿父母依恋债券的质量在多大程度上由父母行为的个体差异和社会环境的个体差异预测，而婴儿四个月大。这项研究将是第一个检查儿童从出生开始的家庭的家庭。这将使我们能够确定婴儿是否“需要”妇女参与她们的现实照顾和情感生活，许多人仍然相信；而且，是否不仅由两个男人抚养，而且具有同性方向的双胞胎是否与异性恋者或两个具有同性方向相同的女性从出生中饲养的女性或从出生中抚养的婴儿产生的可能性正常。将在每个国家招募足够大的样本，以探索法律和文化差异影响父母的行为和婴儿的程度。
