The lecture will present the research "I'm not a gay mom, I am a mum" - The parenthood of LGB people in Croatia, which was also the first research in Croatia on this topic. 
The main purpose of this research was to gain insight into the experiences and well-being of LGB parents and children in Croatia. Additionally, the intent was to get acquainted with the experiences, needs and challenges of LGB people in Croatia who would like to be parents and / or they are in the process of planning of parenting.

Research has shown that there are diverse families in LGB parents in Croatia and that they are willing to invest time and resources in the realization of their parenting role despite a number of challenges that they imply. At the same time, the experiences of the LGB family point to the fact that they are mostly not recognized in the existing regulations, laws and public policies of the Croatian society, as well as in non-governmental organizations dealing with children and families. The results have created proposals for the formulation of public policy and professional practice in the form of realization of rights and the welfare of all members of the LGB family.
