ABSTRACT:The New Family Structure Study (NFSS) is a social-science data-collection project that fielded a survey to a large,random sample of American young adults (ages 18~39) who were raised in different types of family arrangements. In thisdebut article of the NFSS, I compare how the young-adult children of a parent who has had a same-sex romanticrelationship fare on 40 different social, emotional, and relational outcome variables when compared with six other

family-of-origin types. The results reveal numerous, consistent differences, especially between the children of a lesbianmother and those with still-married (heterosexual) biological parents, both in bivariate and multivariate contexts,suggesting far greater diversity in lesbian-parent household experiences than convenience-sample studies of lesbianfamilies have revealed. The NFSS proves to be an illuminating, versatile dataset that can assist family scholars inunderstanding the long reach of family structure andtransitions. -
