The GLBT family is a new postmodern phenomenon demonstrating the accomplishments of marginal groups seeking acceptance within mainstream society. The article is based on a qualitative phenomenological study conducted in Israel during 2012, providing a theoretical model combining a vast number of GLBT parenting options ranging from surrogacy, sperm donation, adoption, and co-parenting. The research consisted of 50 personal interviews that concentrated on the family experiences of couples of gay men and lesbian woman who opted to bring a child into their families. Analysis of the data points to a process of empowerment where societal norms in respect to gender, parenting, and family are deconstructed and then reconstructed. The theoretical model conceptualizes three parenting challenges that highlight the respondent's family experience: "Otherness," belonging, and self-actualization. Research shows that every period of family life addresses a different segment, where one of the three challenges becomes the dominant experience.
GLBT 家庭是一种新的后现代现象，展示了边缘群体在主流社会中寻求认可的成就。本文基于 2012 年在以色列进行的一项定性现象学研究，提供了一个理论模型，结合了大量 GLBT 育儿选择，包括代孕、精子捐赠、收养和共同育儿。研究由 50 次个人访谈组成，集中在选择将孩子带入家庭的男同性恋者和女同性恋者夫妇的家庭经历上。数据分析指向一个赋权过程，其中关于性别、育儿和家庭的社会规范被解构，然后再被重构。理论模型将三个育儿挑战概念化，突出了受访者的家庭体验：“他者性”、归属感和自我实现。研究表明，家庭生活的每个阶段都涉及到不同的部分，其中三个挑战之一成为主导体验。
