I know. I was being facetiious.karen wrote:I wasn't endorsing 2-women households. It's more like what a pity for her birth parents. They gave up a baby that has grown up beautifully, and they don't know that.

Do you really think she could have grown up as beautifully in a household that did not want her?
What about sperm doners or egg doners?karen wrote:Yeah, you are right. That's the whole point of adoption - to give unwanted children a chance by putting them in the arms of people who want them. Nevertheless, to think some woman gave her up 13 years and never knowing what has become of her, that's sad.
Oh, I am in a sentimental mood today.
I once saw a piece of ad on schools newspapaer seeking caucasion egg doners. "at least 5'7"", good looking, atheletic, no diabetes or whatever disease history in family". There's another requirement "MINIMUM SAT SCORE XXX, or equivalent..."

Violent delights.
K, I assume adoption is not a means of reproduction? Homosexuality is by nature not reproductive, and that's part of the reason why different churches--be it Christian or Islamic--are against it.

Guess it might the Reconstructionist Judaism they belong to.

I wonder anybody here has read Gish Jen's Mona in the Promised Land? It is about a Chinese American girl who lives in a Jewish neighbourhood and converts to Judaism as a result.
