Would you be upset if I told my child that that is not really the case? That is back to the zygote thing. BTW, I am open minded enough that my kids at three knew what a zygote was, complete with microscope images. They know all about the human genome and more than most of their friends, so they already know that two women can not have a child. To me it is like calling your father's second wife a mother, just not factual.[/quote]

NP here.  Tell me, why is a legal, step or adoptive mother any less a mother?  Yes, a child cannot have 2 biological mothers, but there is a lot more to having a child than just bearing the child.  If you are stuck on only defining motherhood based on biological mothers, then you have a very limited perspective.  That attitude is very offensive to a lot of parents out there who have spent years raising their families.  You're welcome to your opinion and what you tell your own child, but don't be surprised when you offend many parents and hear some not so kind retorts. [/quote]
