Parenthood in lesbian families
Bláhová, Kateřina ; Lánský, Ondřej (advisor) ; Hyánková, Tereza (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with same-sex parenting among lesbian couples and its process. In the Czech Republic, it is possible for same-sex couples to enter into a registered partnership, although there is no option of starting families with children together under the same legal protection that heterosexual couples have. On the contrary, there is no legislation concerning this issue. That is why, although same-sex parenting is not explicitly banned, the state and society show no basic degree of acceptance of this alternative family form. That puts lesbian couples into unique circumstances, which they encounter on their way to and during parenthood. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the current situation of lesbian families in the Czech Republic using available literature and other sources. The thesis discusses the topics of the perception of homosexuality and same-sex parenting in the Czech society, the means of obtaining custody of a child and which ones are available, and what accompanying problems lesbian couples deal with on their way to parenthood. KEY WORDS LGBT, parenthood, lesbian couples, assisted reproduction, adoption

The sample consisted of young people ranging in age from 20 to 26, from the South Moravian Region. After obtaining the necessary data, the interviews were transcribed and then evaluated by means of cluster analysis. The research has revealed that parenthood is for today's young adults the embodiment of love, a new relationship is developed and experiences are transferred to a new generation, a person acquires a vision for the future, sees the success of his/her child in the growth of his/her life. Today's young people perceive marriage from a purely practical point of view, especially in easier communication in the authorities. Individuals of the young generation stated that it is not essential for them that the child be born into a marriage, they consider much more important the fact that the child grow up in a complete family. The research also showed that today's young adults have a positive attitude towards alternative forms of cohabitation.
