Are you feeling anxious about explaining to your kids where babies come from? It can be a tricky conversation, especially for parents in non-traditional families. But don’t worry! Seven-year-old Mia has a simple way to explain it all.
In a charming video, Mia starts off by saying, “If you’re a kid with two moms and people ask you questions, here’s how you can explain it.” She continues, “Imagine Mom loves another woman. They get married and want to have a baby, but they need a boy!”
Mia then giggles and dives into her description of a sperm donor, though she skips over some of the finer details. “They do something called… um, they ask for sperm. He gives it to them, and they say ‘thank you’… and that’s how babies are born!”
Mia captures the essence of the process! Inspired by a conversation with her daughter, Emma, Mia’s mom, a founder of a family-oriented blog, wanted to help her daughter articulate her unique family structure. “About six months ago, I asked Mia if kids ever questioned her about having two moms,” she shared. “She said some thought it was impossible for her to not have a dad.” This led to a candid discussion about sperm and eggs, and the results were both insightful and adorable.
