这是第一项研究同性伴侣（90对伴侣：52对女同性恋，38对男同性恋）在收养子女后的第一年中抑郁和焦虑变化的研究。鉴于性少数群体独特地面临与性取向相关的污名，本研究考察了内化和外显的污名形式如何影响男女同性恋者在向为人父母过渡期间的心理健康。此外，还考察了环境支持的作用。在收养时，较高的工作场所支持感、家庭支持感和关系质量与较低的抑郁和焦虑症状相关，较高的朋友支持感与较低的焦虑症状相关。较低的内化同性恋恐惧和较高的社区对同性恋友好的感知与较低的抑郁症状相关。最后，内化同性恋恐惧程度高且生活在对同性恋收养法律环境不利的州的个体，其抑郁和焦虑症状的增加最为显著。研究结果对为性少数群体提供服务的咨询师，尤其是那些经历向为人父母过渡的咨询师具有重要意义。
This is the first study to examine change in depression and anxiety across the first year of adoptive parenthood in same-sex couples (90 couples: 52 lesbian, 38 gay male). Given that sexual minorities uniquely contend with sexual orientation-related stigma, this study examined how both internalized and enacted forms of stigma affect the mental health of lesbians and gay men during the transition to parenthood. In addition, the role of contextual support was examined. Higher perceived workplace support, family support, and relationship quality were related to lower depressive and anxious symptoms at the time of the adoption, and higher perceived friend support was related to lower anxiety symptoms. Lower internalized homophobia and higher perceived neighborhood gay-friendliness were related to lower depressive symptoms. Finally, individuals with high internalized homophobia who lived in states with unfavorable legal climates regarding gay adoption experienced the steepest increases in depressive and anxious symptoms. Findings have important implications for counselors working with sexual minorities, especially those experiencing the transition to parenthood.
