Gay Fathers Are as Happy as Heterosexual Fathers

Gay fathering is always planned, either through surrogacy or adoption. Commitment to parenting is further tested in advance by the additional obstacles gay fathers may experience, such as policy, legislation and cost.

Several studies have shown that gay fathers overall do well, as do their children. In fact, in an adoption study in the UK, gay fathers by adoption had higher well-being than heterosexual adopting parents.

Similarly our studies have shown that parents’ well-being is better explained by their relationship status and social context, than by their sexual orientation, goodmenproject.com reports.
