Choosing Children

An emotionally powerful documentary that challenges society's definitions of family by exploring the ways lesbians are becoming parents and how they are raising their children.

Hailed as a pioneering achievement upon its release in 1984, Choosing Children takes an intimate look at the joys and challenges experienced by six different families as they make decisions about how to become pregnant, navigate the process of adoption, contemplate whether to involve men in parenting, and take in reactions from relatives, doctors and schoolmates.
