The adults choose to have that lifestyle and then have a kid. They are fulfilling their emotional needs -- they want to have a child -- and they are not taking into account how that's going to feel to the child;
Recently, on one of those morning programs, a young lady, accompanied by her mother, sat anxiously, waiting to meet her 'biological' dad. She was the product of 'donor' insemination, and was able to track down her 'biological' father, through the sperm bank. Anticipation built as the big moment approached.
The program host turned to her and asked if she was ready to meet her 'Dad'. Her smile spread from ear to ear as she eagerly awaited the next camera shot. On the TV monitor, a smiling man, accompanied by his wife and young son, suddenly appeared. After a series of questions by the program host, the girl was now given an opportunity to 'meet' her biological father. Tears flowed freely. She was so excited! The program host then asked the 'Dad' about his 'contribution' to the sperm bank. As the conversation progressed, it turned out that his 'donations' had resulted in more than one thousand births. THIS child just happened to be the first one to step forward and use whatever laws are in place to identify her biological father.
As the camera shot towards the young lady, the grin had gradually sunk into a deflated smile. She now understood perfectly what society knows only too well. There are no substitutes for a mother/father relationship.
