GENPARENT VOICE explores the reasoning, expectations and experiences of the transition to parenthood in same-sex couples in the Netherlands and Sweden. In a first step, female parents-to-be are interviewed about how they envision parenthood and their plans for combining work and care. The in-depth interviews have a longitudinal design, following couples over time as they become parents. At a later stage, interviews with male couples as well as heterosexual adoptive parents are planned.
