[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, the pp said OP's child doesn't have two moms and that OP is trying to brain wash her child into thinking that she does.  If you're going to shit on someone else's family, at least have the courage to own your bigotry.  A child's parents are the ones who actually parent her, like OP and her wife.

I'm pretty sure the gay and lesbian parents on this thread are fine with their kids knowing that their families are less common than mom-dad families.  We just don't want anyone telling us we're less than other families, and saying only one mom in a couple is actually a mom is a jerky thing to do.[/quote]

The kid can have two moms, but at least one is going to be an adoptive mom.  That is reality.  A person can only have one biological mother and one biological father, barring unnatural technological intervention.  There's nothing hateful about saying that.  [/quote]

[b]An adoptive mom is a mom.[/b]

To say otherwise is indeed hateful.

Use of terms such as "brainwash" is also hateful. [/quote]

And so is the child's biological mother a mom.  I have two adopted children who realize they have a biological mother and father.  Their bio family is very important to them, despite the fact they barely remember them and will never see them again in their lives, and despite the fact that they've integrated beautifully into our family.  But I don't kid myself, it's not "normal" and I expect there to be some type of fallout as we journey through life.

Adoption doesn't magically erase the reality of children born from one set of parents, being raised by other people.  Some adoptive children do in fact mourn their biological family, and I could imagine it to be an added burden if they are raised being told that having two mothers is completely normal and they should never have any feelings to the contrary.
