User talk:Sstorm21/LGBT families

Your article is off to a good start; looking on Wikipedia I see the LGBT parenting page refers to the topics of family planning, but in a limited way with citations needed. What is being built here can shore up those weaknesses present in the article. I think that the Considerations heading could be renamed to more clearly show the section covers family planning options. I notice that there are several instances the word "you" is used, the tone seeming to be advisory in nature. For example from the start of the Considerations section:

"Age, Career, desire to become pregnant, and Health are all factors that need to be discussed when choosing to have a child. Consider family history. Is there more  urgency for one partner to become pregnant quickly due to age or difficulty becoming pregnant in their family? If so, it may be wise for that partner to begin trying first."

If a piece is being quoted, then the formatting will have to be changed to reflect that. Otherwise, it will have to be rewritten. The article being drafted appears to refer to biologically female couples. The topic of LGBT families is vast and the article would evolve over time to include information about biologically male or intersex couples/partners.

Overall, this article is on its way to greatness! Good sources were collected to build a strong framework for growth! Secephalopod (talk) 17:17, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello storm I enjoyed reading your article it's pretty good. You are providing good information on how partners who want to have kids can chose who should become pregnant or how they can go about having a surrogate. I see you have made some changes that were suggested by other classmates. great work. user:yanyra562 — Preceding undated comment added 03:29, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

You have a lot of great information here, Storm, but as Secephalopod notes, it is all written in an advisory tone and not from the more neutral stance called for in an encyclopedia entry such as this. Also, I second the concerns about the focus on lesbian couples alone. I suggest that you review the article itself more closely and then choose the bits that would add to the article in the neutral and more broadly focused manner necessary to this type of writing. One possibility is to choose the considerations that are particular to same-sax couples and offer them in a more neutral fashion as a new subsection under Forms. --Jbdolphin (talk) 07:01, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
