This article provides an account of the professional journey of two scholars whose research and teaching interests relate to sexual diversity’s families. By putting to the test the traditional heteronormative model, homoparental families, especially those using assisted reproduction, bring out new family and relational patterns, in addition to making visible the cultural norms associated with kinship, parenthood and the concretization of a child’s desire. From then on, an understanding of family diversity in line with contemporary social practices is actualized by taking into account the plurality of experiences lived by same-sex parents and their children.
