It prides itself in evolving to keep pace with current research, and &#8220;relies on numerous studies that have shown that children with same-sex parents and children in same-sex adoption fare as well as those children with heterosexual parents&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goldencradle.org\/how-do-children-same-sex-adoption-fare\" target=\"_blank\">For example, Golden Cradle\u00ae describes an analysis of fifteen studies involving 500 same-sex parents by Tufts-New England Medical Center in Boston concluded that children from same-sex parents do just as well as children from heterosexual couples<\/a>.  All of these studies very consistently showed that factors such as self-esteem, relationship with peers, intelligence, behavior, and gender identity were the same whether children were raised by heterosexual couples or by same-sex couples.<\/p>\n<p>One study followed children raised by same-sex parents for 11 years as they became adults. The conclusion was still the same: that these adults fared just as well as adults that had been raised by heterosexual parents. Factors analyzed were: sexual orientation identification, self-esteem, relationships with family, the ability to adjust, and underlying psychological issues.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, it has been found that the sexual orientation of the parents does not determine what type of parental abilities the parents have. For example, in a study with lesbian couples, it was found that parental abilities and styles were the same between same-sex parents and heterosexual parents  &#8211; other than the fact that the lesbian couples were more inclined to share household duties and do child rearing on a more equal basis.<\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goldencradle.org\/how-do-children-same-sex-adoption-fare\" target=\"_blank\">Golden Cradle Adoption Services<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-comments\" data-href=\"https:\/\/proudparenting.com\/?p=10736\" data-num-posts=\"10\" data-width=\"700\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Golden Cradle\u00ae Adoption Services is a non-profit adoption and birth-parent services agency in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
