User:Chelseaaaaa 2024/C's LGBTQ+ adoption, LGBTQ+ autoethnography, and LGBTQ+ Performance Studies

Topic One: LGBTQ+ adoption and communication
This topic overview is about same sex adoptive parents who are fighting against the heteronormative norms. But also recognizing that LGBTQ+ parenting isn't talked about much when it comes to communication studies.

Article body
One important finding in my first article was, how same sex parents are judge because they don't look like the heteronormative norm and are subject to more judgements because of it. Another finding is, the social pressures they experience. For instance when starting school for their children having feelings of exclusion is high because they are viewed differently. The last finding is, how the negotiate misconceptions from the LGBTQ+ community about the parenting life and relating it to the heteronormative ways.

One important finding from my second article is, when you are a parent while in a couple with the same sex you risk the judgement of you not being capable of raising a family the "right" way. Also having to face the worlds fear of you raising a child who is also going to become a non heterosexual human being. The last finding was how we need to redo the meaning of family to where it includes all different types of family instead of the societal norms way of what a family is.

One important finding from my third article is, Puberty is more likely to start early for adopted children because of all the trauma and stressful experiences they have encountered. Little is known on how same sex couples approach puberty because in heterosexuals' relationships the mother normally handles that. The last finding if how adoptive children have a hard time identifying during puberty because they start questioning their family history and a lot of times adoptive parents don't have access to that information.
