Each year, an increasing number of children are born through surrogacy and thus lack a genetic and/or gestational link with their mother. This study examined the impact of surrogacy on mother-child relationships and children's psychological adjustment. Assessments of maternal positivity, maternal negativity, mother-child interaction, and child adjustment were administered to 32 surrogacy, 32 egg donation, and 54 natural conception families with a 7-year-old child. No differences were found for maternal negativity, maternal positivity, or child adjustment, although the surrogacy and egg donation families showed less positive mother-child interaction than the natural conception families. The findings suggest that both surrogacy and egg donation families function well in the early school years.
每年都有越来越多的儿童通过代孕出生，因此与他们的母亲在遗传和/或妊娠方面缺乏联系。本研究考察了代孕对母子关系和儿童心理适应的影响。对 32 个代孕家庭、32 个捐卵家庭和 54 个自然受孕家庭的母亲积极度、母亲消极度、母子互动和儿童适应进行了评估，这些家庭都有一个 7 岁的孩子。研究结果发现，在母亲消极度、母亲积极度或儿童适应方面没有差异，尽管代孕和捐卵家庭与自然受孕家庭相比，母子互动较少积极。研究结果表明，代孕和捐卵家庭在孩子早期教育阶段都运作良好。
