Summary sheet from a qualitative study begun in 2010. We interviewed ten Quebec families in which lesbian parents chose a known donor and where the children were born after Bill 84 was passed.

Special thanks to the children and their parents for participating to this study. This project was funded by an Insight grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).
