Hi, I love your blog! I am 16 and have been reading about transgendered children. It interests me for some reason. Your kids sound amazing and you seem so great and supportive!

Maybe there could be a possibility of freezing sperm depending on when you start the hormone blockers, and when Hope hits puberty.

I would not worry about having biological children so much. If Hope has the love you have instilled in her she will have enough love to give any child that needs her. Children find their parents. I know several moms who have become mothers without biology and their kids are their kids. Don’t worry about that.

I was thinking about you and Hope the other day, and about this very thing– the dreaded puberty and teen years. They’re excrutiating enough for “normal” kids. =(

It seems even if it’s early implement hormone therapy, it shouldn’t be too early to talk about it and begin exploring options (I know it’;s totally different, but it reminds me of sitting in my OB’s office when I was interviewing her before getting pregnant to make sure I wanted her to be my dr, and asking her about labor and childbirth– she waved my concerns away and said we’d talk about all that “later.” Well, later turned out to be at 7 months pregnant when I realized she and I had COMPLETELY different ideas of how my birth would go, and I had to go find myself a midwife instead. Again, seems to me it’s never too early to just begin that discussion).

I hear they’ve figured out how to create sperm from something in the body–bone marrow, maybe? AND they’re getting closer to womb transplants. She’s young, so she’s got so much possibility ahead of her. Even if she does have her own children, there are always babies to be adopted and children to be volunteered with. Life is full of opportunities for love–don’t fret too much yet

And thank you for the compliment on my site. Sorry it wouldn’t let you log-in…I’ll go see if I can do anything about that.
