A girl is told by a classmate “No one has two mommies,” and her moms and teacher proceed to help her and the class understand the truth of the matter. Readers should note that when her two moms explain that one of them is her birth mom and one had to adopt her, the latter says, “So I’m your adopted mommy.” This feels like an older phrasing; most nonbiological parents I know who planned a baby’s conception with a partner and had to do a second-parent (confirmatory) adoption would not call themselves an “adopted” (or “adoptive”) parent, but simply a parent. Issue-oriented and a trifle preachy, but well-intentioned and could still be useful if your child has had a peer challenge the validity of their family structure.
