This study explored the characteristics of the transition to parenthood of visually impaired mothers. We conducted structured interviews, involving six questionnaires, with seventeen mothers receiving assistance from a parenthood support service for persons with disabilities. Their transition to parenthood seems relatively conventional despite their visual impairment, and mothers have mostly “detached” attachment representations, with a need for independence. However, the need for social support proves to be of great importance. The role of professionals is essential in this support network, and these specialized services should be promoted.
