Modern Families brings together research on parenting and child
development in new family forms including lesbian mother families,
gay father families, families headed by single mothers by choice
and families created by assisted reproductive technologies such as
in vitro fertilisation (IVF), egg donation, sperm donation, embryo
donation and surrogacy. This research is examined in the context of
the issues and concerns that have been raised regarding these
families. The findings not only contest popular myths and
assumptions about the social and psychological consequences for
children of being raised in new family forms but also challenge
well-established theories of child development that are founded
upon the supremacy of the traditional family. It is argued that the
quality of family relationships and the wider social environment
are more influential in children's psychological development than
are the number, gender, sexual orientation, or biological
relatedness of their parents or the method of their conception.
