The idea that this person we care about would choose death over life is frightening. We feel both responsible for that person's well-being and terribly helpless. Same Sex Parents and their Children Studies estimate that between 1 and 9 million children in the United States have at least one parent who is lesbian or gay. There are approximately 594,000 same-sex partner households, according to the 2000 Census, and there are children living in approximately 27 percent of those households. Adoption Making the important decision to adopt may be one of the most challenging and difficult decisions a person or couple can make...Family therapists can help the adoptive family to understand what impact, if any, adoption may be having, and they can help the parents to learn how they can help their child. Infertility Infertility is commonly defined as the inability to conceive a child or carry a pregnancy to full term. It is one of the most severe crises that a person or couple may ever face, and presents a tremendous physical, emotional, and financial challenge.
