📯THEY SAID WHAT!?!📯
“THEY DON’T LOOK LIKE YOU?”
💬At LGBT Mummies, with a community of 80,000 people globally, we often hear from people about the experiences they have, the assumptions made and the questions they are asked. 🏳️🌈
The questions are sometimes curious, sometimes educational, but unfortunately sometimes they’re invasive.
We have had multiple families say that they have heard “they don’t look like you” when being questioned about their children’s genetics, biology and why they don’t look like their parents.
Some people feel comfortable discussing this and are happy to educate and celebrate.
Others find it invasive and difficult and don’t want to share this, particularly when they have to explain the genetics, biology or ethnicity of their donor / other genetic parent who donated s***m or potentially eggs.
It is a completely personal choice whether you choose to share this, but many feel that it can be difficult at times to navigate these conversations, particularly when they happen in front of their children.
