• This qualitative systematic review provides an overview of existing studies on the desire for parenthood of people with intellectual disabilities. The scientific studies were identified following the Prisma protocol on 18 databases using keywords relating to sexuality and parenting. Sixteen studies have been included and three categories identified: the obstacles and motivations to becoming a parent; parents' decision making during pregnancy; and the social construction of a parental identity. The results from these studies show that people with intellectual disabilities have a genuine desire for children, which is repressed because of an unfavorable social context. Further clinical and participatory research is needed to better understand the singular modes of expression of people's intimate desires and how to better accompany them on this issue.
