For gay parents, i want to underatand gay parenting / fmaily dynamics? How do you explain to your child zbout their missing biological parent ?

@PoizonApple what do you mean?how does it happen?

That depends on the situation. In-vitro...adoption...surrogate...

@SW-User and what do you tell them if the child has two dads? The moomy left?

I grew with a fear that my mom would leave as someone jealous of her use to feed this fucking crap to me since i was 8 yr old and i would have nightmares until i was 19.

@aaaabbbb I'm not referring to biology.

@aaaabbbb Yes, you should inform them of everyone who fucked and everyone who left. Diagrams can help.

@Salix75 the truth for me kids only come from mom and dad being together. All i could tell them that there is only one reall mom and dad. Other person is just an adoptive. And either the real mom or dad is no longer in their lives...

@aaaabbbb anyone can be a mother or a father... that's down to biological function. but not everyone can be a mum or dad...that's more of an emotional kind of thing. I know it's semantics, but based on what you say it may play a role. I don't think an adoptive parent is "just" and adoptive parent... they are choosing to take on an important role in raising that child.

I really don't think it needs to be complicated
