这项研究对36对女同性恋伴侣和39对正在等待领养的异性恋伴侣的社会支持和心理健康的预测因素进行了调查。女同性恋准领养伴侣感觉来自家庭的支持比异性恋伴侣少，但来自朋友的支持水平相似。女同性恋伴侣和异性恋伴侣报告的幸福水平相似。领养过程的各个方面与焦虑有关，而伴侣的受孕史与抑郁有关。领养从业者在预防工作中应认识到这些不同的途径。
This study examines predictors of social support and mental health among 36 lesbian and 39 heterosexual couples who were waiting to adopt. Lesbian preadoptive partners perceived less support from family than heterosexual partners but similar levels of support from friends. Lesbian and heterosexual partners reported similar levels of well-being. Aspects of the adoption process were associated with anxiety, whereas couples' conception history was associated with depression. Adoption practitioners should acknowledge these distinct pathways in prevention efforts.
