While a “traditional” nuclear family has been defined as a heterosexual married couple and their biologically conceived children, this model is far from universally true. There are an increasing number of unmarried heterosexual couples, divorced individuals, same-sex married and unmarried couples, and single individuals who have or desire to have children. Along with the changing landscape of social family structures, assisted reproductive technology (ART) continues to evolve, offering an increasing number of family building options and techniques. This chapter will examine the different methods available for same-sex couples and single women to have children and the matters pertaining to these specific populations. |
