[quote=Anonymous]But if it does come up -- because a lot of kids ask, even if you didn't -- OP wants to be open with her child. Maybe that wouldn't be your choice, but it's hers, and it makes sense for her to be prepared. OP, "it's not the stork" doesn't address gestational carriers specifically, but I thought it was great as a general "birds & the bees" text, and it does talk about different ways families are formed. It offered lots of opportunities to explain to my older daughter (6) about the various technologies that resulted in her baby sibling. We also started watching the documentary "Babies" when my daughter was 2 or 3. It's prompted a lot of discussion about where babies grow and breast feeding and stuff like that (although I am not keen on how they presented the baby in Africa, they picked a very traditional community -- sorta the equivalent of the Amish -- that I thought reinforced a lot of Americans' misconceptions about Africa).[/quote]
