Recent ways of constructing parenthood and families through gamete donation challenge our way of thinking about the meaning of social and genetic parenthood. The views of family members on their roles in the family and their beliefs about kinship, are topics relevant to today’s family therapy practice. This workshop consists of three parts. In part one, we report on a review of qualitative studies about parents’ experiences of family relationships after medically assisted reproduction using donor gametes. In part two, we present the findings of our own multi-perspective qualitative research project on family communication about donor conception. Participants were recruited via the Department of Reproductive Medicine of the Ghent University Hospital. Interviews with ten lesbian parents and with their participating children (aged 7 to 10 years old) focusing on the way family communication about the donor conception is experienced, were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Subsequently, dyadic interview analysis was used to compare both accounts of parents and children in each family. The third and final part of the workshop consists of an interactive exercise on dyadic interview analysis using data of part two. In conclusion, we relate this qualitative systemic study to the broader issues of family secrets and selective disclosure in families and discuss how it can inspire family therapy practice.
