 Isabel Côté is a Ph.D. student in Social Work at the Université de Montréal. She is interested in families headed by lesbian couples in the context of numerous recent changes in Quebec that have institutionalized lesbian parenthood and the democratization of assisted procreation. Since 2002, two women can be legally recognized as parents of a child who was conceived with a known donor’s genetic material, without him being recognized legally as the father. These legislative changes have been the source of heated debate, especially regarding the notion of father figure. Many researchers have thus assumed that the importance of paternity has been minimized in the child’s life, notably in its separation from the mother. Isabel’s doctoral research thus examines a little-known phenomenon in the social context of the redefinition of family ties, contributing to the current debates and thinking on the notions of filiation (a child’s legal relationship with the parent) and parenthood, as well as on the role of the father in atypical families. |
