My perception of time has been thrown completely out of whack. It suddenly dawned on me that I'm at the end of yet another semester. It feels strange, perhaps especially since I only followed one class this spring. I sit here with a feeling that I should have done so much more.

Let's hope our generation will be able to sort some things out, in terms of establishing equal rights no matter how you choose to form your family life.

I think openness regarding sperm donor or adopting is important, a positive kind of openness, of course, needless to say. Children are quick to catch on, really. I remember when a friend and I were adventuring about in her home and found a paper that said that she was adopted. She was really shocked and fell out with her parents for quite a while, I believe. She was pretty old too, and I just felt... So bad for her. In such situations, I do think that it is good to have the truth instead of it being dropped as a bomb when you're already going through your own teenage hormonal hell.

And every child having a basic human right to a father, bah. Things don't work out that way. Fathers (and mothers) can become absent for a great many deals: they don't have any parental interest, they leave, they don't get along with the other parent, they can't provide for the child, they die. We don't have a right to have parents, so to speak. Besides, who am I going to sue/blame for my father dying in a freak accident? Because if we follow her logic, I have that right. Bleh. What a woman.
