摘要
Qualitative focus groups were conducted with lesbian and bisexual women who were themselves or whose partners were in the process of trying to conceive (n = 6); who were biological parents of young children (n = 7); and who were nonbiological parents of young children or whose partners were currently pregnant (n = 10) to explore their donor insemination service needs and to provide recommendations for improved or additional services. The 10 recommendations generated by participants included providing cues that the service is lesbian and bisexual positive; offering lesbian- and bisexual-specific infertility support; providing opportunities for women to make informed choices about use of interventions consistent with their known or presumed fertility; and offering accessible services to known sperm donors, including gay men.
