[blparent] Introduction and a question

[Star Gazer]

				My sense is that in this case, the father is
a father in sperm donation either. 
And like J.E. says, why are you asking these questions for her? She can get
on the list and ask whatever she wants. So can you, it's just odd that you
are and she isn't. Makes me wonder what more is going on.

Why don't you suggest that your client might want to join this list?  She
could ask the question for herself, and a lot of other parenting questions,
too, if she is interested.  There are many mothers of babies and toddlers
here, and some mothers of older children, or mothers whose children are
grown now.

Hello Judy,
Thanks for the information. I had almost thought of that angle but not all
the way
