They do that because some kids have same-sex parents. Or are being raised by someone other than their parents. Etc, etc. Don't you have a nontraditional family yourself?

Even if it was for trans parents, who cares? Why does it matter to you? What effect does that have on your life?

> Well thank you for the info, but I know why they are doing it. I have read many articles about it.

> Second, why does it matter to me? Well, I am sure you know what is personal conviction and why creationists fight against evolutionists, atheists against believers, and so on and so on. Plus, I have read what kind of effect such ideology might have on some children. The three of us are for the traditional way of raising our children although we live in a bisexual type of relationship and our children have no problem having two mothers and one father.

> If that thing is optional, I have no problem if someone wants to declare as parent 1 or parent 2. Some time ago I read that (heterosexual) married couple declared as parent 1 and parent 2. They had an option. Our government wants to shut down that option for heterosexual couples and that's pissing us off.  The three of us respect other people's declaration, but we want to declare as father and mother.

The gov't agency said "they couldn't do that"  while just a few decades ago, someone would have told a same sex couple wanting to adopt "they couldn't do that ".  I am sure you would find that distasteful.    So besides the hypocrisy and the restriction of freedom, why does "inclusion" now mean that we must suppress the reality for 99% of parents for the 1% of the population?  Lastly, as much as certain people would like to deny reality, men and women are different.   That means that we have different roles in raising children. 

As for Trans parents, the point is not applicable as one identifies as the "father" and one identifies as the "mother".
