Research Opportunity: Share Your Diverse Family

Written By Anna Baxter

Share your family’s story! The Contemporary Family Conceptions Research Lab is collecting photos to celebrate and advocate for diverse families! We welcome: Family Moments, Pregnancy & newborn shoots, Holidays and travel, Objects that represent your family. Get involved, go to www.contemporaryfamilyconceptions.com

The study is seeking families to interview for longitudinal research and/or to participate in a photo study. One or more adult family members may take part. We are looking for families such as:

  • POLYAMOROUS FAMILIES

  • LGBTQ FAMILIES

  • FOSTER FAMILIES

  • ADOPTIVE FAMILIES

  • DONOR CONCEIVED FAMILIES

  • PLATONIC CO-PARENTING FAMILIES

  • BLENDED & STEP-PARENT FAMILIES

The purpose of this study is to investigate the meaning making of parents, children, and biological and non-biological family members when families are constructed in non-traditional ways. We will be addressing families constructed with known donors, in polyamorous and platonic family formations, families with step parents, adoption, and families of choice. Through this longitudinal ethnography we hope to uncover the journeys of different families in family construction. $10 will be provided per interview with a max of $40 per family group.
