[blparent] Introduction and a question

Mon Feb 15 23:59:34 UTC 2016

If you read the initial post, this is a vision rehab. instructor inquiring for some information for one of her clients. Why are you reading more into it? No need for any additional information from her. If she wants to tell her client about your list, she will.  Blessings to you all.

 We have not been given
 any information by which we can assume that the 
 father in question, if there is one, is a sperm
 donor.  That's a dangerous 
 and
 needless conclusion to jump to.

 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
