(en) When the adopted child questions the sexuality of his homosexual parents The situations of adopted children living with a couple of homosexual parents who act a transgressive sexuality are threatened by a triple stigmatization. The association of the three concepts, namely the adoption, the homosexuality and the sexual defiance about minor, constitutes a main risk to see the child as well as the adults concerned, being relegated in a category except for perceived as pathological even toxic. Through two clinical cases, the author presents his reflections on the concept of the difference of the sexes by showing that this one is necessary to the identity construction of the child. In addition he develops the contribution of systemic epistemology to approach the challenges inherent in such problems. A discussion follows on the format of the talks, the relevant theoretical references and the contents of the family meetings.
