Mom's are awesome. No matter if you are lesbo or straight. Motherhood is beyond everything and beyond these barriers created by humans.

That's totally fine! There's nothing wrong with that, your child isn't going to grow up affected negatively by that. Love is unconditional.

As a listener I encourage the client to explore and embrace their newfound sexuality with pride. i encourage the client to start to see themselves as the sister, brother, son or daughter so they can define their selves as such and not as just gay or lesbian.

There is nothing wrong with that. As long as you are sure of who you want to be, and it makes you happy then you should stay true to yourself. People will respect that

Go for it! Sexual orientation has nothing to do with whether you are a good mom or not! Stay away from people who tell you otherwise!

Its okay to be a lesbian mom. Our society still holds taboos about sexuality, but it has become more and more acceptable to parent as a gay parent. Unfortunately, you will still find people that don't accept you just because of your sexuality. I personally would have no issue with my children playing with your children or us being friends just because of your sexual identity. I guess I would have to answer your question with one of my own: so what if you were a lesbian mom? It is what you are and part of who you are. This doesn't make you any less of a parent or a mom.

Nothing wrong would happen. Being mom doesn't have nothing to do with your sexual orientation. Love is love.

It's fine to be a lesbian mom if you want to. Just remember that the idea is that you be a good mom to your child and that your partner is also a good parent to your kids. At the end its all about the responsibility of how u bring up your kids and the environment u create for them.

Then you are a lesbian mom. It's your choice, not anyone elses's, so you should do what you want to do. After all, it's your life, not theirs.

Then your child will still love you and probably his/her other mother as well. It shouldn't change too much.

Your kid(s) will love you however you are so you shouldn't try to be someone else for them or your husband you should tell them you'll be happier

Lesbian mom is no different from gay dads or straight parents - honestly it's only backwards narrow minded people who believe this is an issue. It's all about peace and love - if you can take care of your child, why would it matter?

Its okay to be a lesbian and a mom, all that matters is that your brave enough to be different than other parents and not be like a programed robot and whats the difference? Your still taking the risk to be stared at but YOUR STILL TAKING CARE OF A CHILD, you dont need to feel different i know this because im a lesbian mom.

At the end of the day, you are still her mum. The one she can count on, the one she knows will always have her back and catch her when she fall. As much as we hate it, there are many judgemental people out there who will bring her down and send hate to her when they find out that she is a lesbian (if she is one). And when that happens, she will need you to be there. No one else is more important than family. The day you found out you were pregnant with her, was the day you became her FAMILY. Be supportive of her and do not let her feel that it is "wrong" to be a lesbian. Everybody deserves to love and be loved regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Be proud of her regardless because she is still human, just like you are. xx

There's no difference between you and any other mom on planet earth, it only gives your children a wider vision of what the world is like. :) Good for you

What if you’re a lesbian? What if? So? It’s no big deal. Not these days. That’s like saying, what if I like Nickleback dad? OK, sure, he may disown you for that, but these days sexual preference is nothing. We’re the new generation, parents now live in our world and our world is about change, acceptance and love, for the most part anyway! So, what if you’re lesbian, bi-sexual, gay, transsexual or some other thing? Who cares? It shouldn’t be a label so don’t make it into one. If you make it into an issue it will be seen as an issue. Just be what you are and don’t worry about the label. As long as you’re happy who cares what you are?
