This study aimed to explore the experiences of gay, lesbian, and heterosexual adoptive parents from 130 families. Parents' reproductive experiences prior to adoption and their reasons for choosing to adopt were compared. Heterosexual couples were more likely to have experienced infertility than same-sex couples. Same-sex couples were more likely to prefer adoption over other routes to parenthood. Parents in all three family types selected their route to parenthood according to normative expectations, attitudes to biogenetic parenthood, ease of access, and moral reasoning. Same-sex couples' decisions were enabled by the non-discriminatory sociolegal context of the United Kingdom.
