[quote=Anonymous]Another lesbian mom here-I totally understand why someone might want to explain to her child: "One of Heather's mommies provided the egg that made made her and got (bought, borrowed, bartered) the sperm that made her from a man." However, I don't understand why biological accuracy needs to negate legal/social parenthood. And denying legal/social parenthood by focusing only on biology may lead to the kind of confusion you are hoping to avoid. Isn't more accurate to say "Heather's mommies both love her and care for her even though only one of them provided the egg," than "Heather thinks she has to mommies, but even though they both think that they are her parents and act like her parents, one of them is a fake who has no biological connection to Heather."[/quote]
