Abstract：
Although the adoption rate among same-sex couples has been increasing, limited research has focused on factors influencing decision making related to placing children with such couples, particularly from the standpoint of birth mothers. Additionally, there is a gap in the literature regarding how biases may influence birth mothers\' decision to place their child with a same-sex couple. This study sought to examine the association between birth mothers\' racial ideologies and their decision to voluntarily place their children with same-sex couples (n = 29) or mother-father couples (n = 354) during the adoption process. Results indicated that birth mothers with stronger color evasive racial attitudes were significantly less likely to place their children with same-sex couples. The need for additional research about the intersections among various forms of bias in the adoption process and the effect of potential interactions between homophobia and racism are discussed. Suggestions for professionals wishing to minimize homophobic and racist bias are provided.
摘要：
尽管同性伴侣的收养率一直在增加，有限的研究集中在影响与将孩子与此类夫妇安置在一起的决策相关的因素上，特别是从生母的角度来看。此外,关于偏见可能如何影响出生母亲将孩子与同性伴侣在一起的决定，文献中存在差距。这项研究旨在研究出生母亲的种族意识形态与他们在收养过程中自愿将子女与同性伴侣（n=29）或父母伴侣（n=354）的决定之间的关联。结果表明，具有更强颜色规避种族态度的出生母亲将子女与同性伴侣放在一起的可能性大大降低。讨论了对收养过程中各种形式的偏见之间的交集以及同性恋恐惧症与种族主义之间潜在相互作用的影响进行进一步研究的必要性。为希望尽量减少同性恋恐惧症和种族主义偏见的专业人员提供建议。
