[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lesbian mother to 2 teens. Yes, I wish I could have had our children with my wife. But, I also wish I had less freckles. Or that I could retire at 50. Or I was more athletically inclined. They are things I WISH for, but am not SAD about. Our kids are now teens and those who don’t know us well/didn’t know us 15y ago, have no idea who carried the kids (FWIW, I did.) And one of our kids looks a LOT like my wife and the other has her personality traits and it extremely bonded to her.

I think it is normal in the planning/early stages of parenthood to focus on genetics, worry about bonding, etc. But as someone who is pretty far down the lesbian parenting path, it ends up not mattering at all. Your kid(s) end up being your kids…

Yep - this. Our son looks a LOT like my wife and her brother. Both of our kids have her mannerisms and they are so wholly hers. I’ve been out since I first became aware of my sexuality in general so there was never a time in which I wanted to make a baby any other way. I’m way more glad that I don’t have to have sex with a man. [/quote]
