Findings are presented of the second phase of a longitudinal study of families created through surrogacy.
At the time of the child's 2nd birthday, 37 surrogacy families were compared with 48 egg donation families and 68 natural conception families on standardised interview and questionnaire measures of the psychological well-being of the parents, parent-child relationships and the psychological functioning of the child.
The surrogacy mothers showed more positive parent-child relationships, and the surrogacy fathers reported lower levels of parenting stress, than their natural conception counterparts. The surrogacy children did not differ from the natural conception children with respect to socio-emotional or cognitive development.
Surrogacy does not appear to impact negatively on parenting or child development in families with 2-year-old children.
本文呈现了一项关于代孕所组建家庭的纵向研究第二阶段的研究结果。
在孩子2岁时，对37个代孕家庭、48个卵子捐赠家庭和68个自然受孕家庭进行了比较，采用标准化访谈和问卷调查的方式，评估父母的心理健康状况、亲子关系以及孩子的心理功能。
与自然受孕家庭的母亲相比，代孕母亲表现出更积极的亲子关系；与自然受孕家庭的父亲相比，代孕父亲报告的育儿压力水平更低。在社会情感或认知发展方面，代孕儿童与自然受孕儿童没有差异。
对于有2岁孩子的家庭来说，代孕似乎不会对养育子女或儿童发展产生负面影响。
