It sounds like you have thought out your childs possible questions and have the father nearby, that is very thoughtful, should she wish to find out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09604443016677801382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13413591.post-1156610002206161792006-08-26T12:33:00.000-04:002006-08-26T12:33:00.000-04:00That's true, Spunkygal.

Some do overgeneralize to the point of not being supportive of adoptions and I think that may be too extreme a stance to take. As you said, we all have issues.Staying in Balancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729612779930162079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13413591.post-1156601896466329212006-08-26T10:18:00.000-04:002006-08-26T10:18:00.000-04:00My child was conceived (with my female partner), u...My child was conceived (with my female partner), using a known doner. We know where he is at all times, so we are always ready should she decide she wants to meet him. She hasn't yet (she's 15). The 2 mother thing has started to be a small issue, but she loves both of us very much. We lost the 2nd child by the same father, and I think having a sibling would have been a great thing for her, particularly after we pass on. She is talented, smart and beautiful, and we share a birthday, which was a sign from heaven. Let's not over-generalize here. We are all God's children and we all struggle with life's issues everyday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13413591.post-1156598898612794762006-08-26T09:28:00.000-04:002006-08-26T09:28:00.000-04:00That's something heartening for us all, Carmel--we...That's something heartening for us all, Carmel--we all have God, who is the perfect parent.Staying in Balancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729612779930162079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13413591.post-1156550078988086662006-08-25T19:54:00.000-04:002006-08-25T19:54:00.000-04:00Wow, more of this sort of stuff should be around. ...Wow, more of this sort of stuff should be around. Because this whole donors thing is absolutely sad. I cannot imagine the pain of not knowing "who" I came from, where I got the shape of my ears, nose mouth etc. And the "do I belong?" questions. <BR/>I feel for buffalo girl, but she does have God who is the perfect parent.<BR/>Thanks for this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09604443016677801382noreply@blogger.com
