Hi Stella, I don’t think you can make sweeping statements like “the donated see the donors as their parents”- clearly that’s not the case for a lot of IVF and surrogate born children, and children can and will identify whomever they feel closest to as mom and dad, or mom and mom, or dad and dad, or mom and mom and dad and so on…

With divorce rates what they are, many heterosexually parented children grow up with three or four parental figures these days yet the sky hasn’t fallen in.

If by gay parents, you mean natural ones, then the children have every right to cite them as mom and dad because that's what and who they are to thre children, but in the instance of assisted reproduction, the donateds see the donors as their parents. I do not think that pulling children here and there helps them and as a result have a blog, a to-the-point one for a quick read just here, featuring a point from the UN Convention On The Rights Of The Child > http://needing-fathers.blogspot.com and also the quick blunt read > http://about-orphans.blogspot.com which could well be where natural children of LBGT's find themselves congregating, due to the wild moralising of those who adocate adoption as better then being with kith and kin, if God forbid, mom has a girlfriend, if their parents are gay.
