I am by no means "opposing the 'old fashioned way'". Rather, I am asking
that people have the right to choose to pursue their goals in ways that more
conservative people may not approve of. I wouldn't presume to tell you how
to have children, although I might not personally approve of a choice that
condemned a person conceived "the old fashioned way" to a life of disease and
disability when an alternative was available.

How do you determine the parents of an adopted child? I call a parent an
adult who takes on the loving responsibility to nurture a child to a healthy
adulthood.
