What Do Your Kids Call You? An Unscientific Survey

One of the first questions that crosses prospective LGBT parents’ minds is “What will our kids call us?” And many of us also search for what to call donors, surrogates, birth parents and other similar figures in our children’s lives. So here’s a small way to share some of that information—just fill out the anonymous form below. Once you’ve submitted your information, you’ll be able to click and see the previous responses—although I might disable that feature if there get to be too many answers to be easily readable. If you just want to see the compiled results, click here.

I’ve included one big free-form box at the end, since it’s impossible to list in advance all of the family structures out there.
