Biological Questions

No biology test can prove my motherhood

The questions we get asked are endless and random, however one that seems to be the main focus is whose the biological mother. I understand that people are curious and want to know, but it shouldn’t really matter.

It can turn a friendly conversation into a not so friendly conversation fast. Being asked this question usually results in an uncomfortable explanation from either myself or my wife. Then it can either end there or be followed by another question, who’s the father?

People only seek to understand, but I wish they would only respect boundaries as well. Our business isn’t any of their business unless we willingly offer it up ourselves. Yes we have made friends with you, but that doesn’t welcome your questions.

The questions aren’t from just friends either. Sometimes its from random people who barely meet us. They just want to know who's the biological mother. As if it's any of your business. Being the person I am I don’t want to be rude and just ignore the question, so I answer.

Each time this biological justification question comes up it hurts. I just want everyone to see our on as our son. He is more my son than the biology he was made with. I have been here through everything for him and I am the other parent he knows. He knows me as his mother, mom and momma. No biology will take that from me.

I wonder if I refuse to answer the question if people will get the idea and leave me alone about it. Maybe I will try it and see what happens.

I love you baby bear.
