Abstract

The study investigates the attachment behaviors of school-age children born to lesbian mothers through donor insemination, examining their preferences for attachment figures in various situations. It delves into the transition of attachment needs from parents to peers during middle childhood and the factors influencing the attachment hierarchy. The research highlights the importance of considering the unique dynamics of non-traditional families when understanding attachment patterns. The findings contribute to the broader understanding of child development in diverse family structures.
