The high percentage of childless couples in Western industrialised countries has long called for creative solutions to enable these couples to start families. This study examines how families that were founded with the help of sperm donation - 'insemination families' - perceive themselves against the backdrop of social norms and the historical and social definition of the concept of family. Particular attention is paid to men in their role as fathers. This study shows that these men are very conscious of their role as fathers and attach particular importance to psychosocial aspects in their understanding of this role. Another aspect of this work is devoted to educating the child and dealing with the family's origins in the social environment. Congruence and authenticity - as fundamental factors of self-image - contribute in particular to experiencing family life as successful under these special circumstances and to perceiving 'otherness' as normal.
