Abstract: This exploratory study reports findings from 448 transgender (trans) adults, 774 cisgender sexual minority men (CSMM), and 1514 cisgender sexual minority women (CSMW) in the United States, all of whom indicated an openness to adopting/fostering. Specifically, it reports trans adults’ fears of discrimination and openness to child characteristics in the adoption/foster care process, relative to cisgender sexual minority parents.
