Abstract
In the article, the author offers some reflections upon same-sex family from a Luhmannian perspective. In particularly, the article analyses lesbian motherhood as well as gay fatherhood and the problem about how re-introduce the donor (the man who gives his semen, the woman who is the surrogate mother or gives her gestational capacity) into the family unity. Who is this person for the family? How could the parents re-introduce him or her into the story of their family?
