[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The couples I know are Dad and Papa, Dad and Pop, and Mom and Mommy.  By the way, the kids are not always adopted.  Gay men father children too.  [/quote]

OP here - I know they're not always adopted, but in this case the child clearly is.  I only added that detail because I thought if one was the biological dad you might actually have "dad" and "bob" or something. [/quote]

Because non-biological parents don't get called mom or dad? Unless you're talking about a step-parent situation, why assume that biologically-unrelated dads get a lesser name than straight adoptive parents? I mean, I'm all for using whatever name you like, but this is like expecting that if a couple uses dad's sperm but an egg donor, the kid should call them Dad and Jane.[/quote]

I agree,  I actually was kind of offended by OP's suggestion that the non bio parent would somehow be less of a parent to be called by his first name?[/quote]

Sorry, no offense meant, I was thinking of a scenario where parent # 2 came into relationship after child was born.  I have stepparents that came along when I was pretty young, so was thinking of that.[/quote]
