Research Snapshot: Experiences of 2S/LGBTQIA+ Couples with Medically Assisted Reproduction
Key findings from a study on the experiences of 2S/LGBTQIA+ couples seeking medically assisted reproduction
Though research has looked at the impact of medically assisted reproduction (MAR) on the lives of straight and cisgender people, little has been done to explore the 2S/LGBTQIA+ experiences of this process.
This study focuses on the experiences of 2S/LGBTQIA+ couples seeking MAR. It highlights the unique challenges faced by 2S/LGBTQIA+ couples unable to conceive due to their relationship status.
This research builds on our growing understanding of the Family Identity component of the Vanier Institute’s Family Diversities and Wellbeing Framework.
