Experimental kids
Family: It’s a brave new world of alternative family models, but some “lopsided” children are beginning to speak out about what they missed growing up
Lynn Vincent

At 7 years old, Katrina Clark was a precocious little girl. When adults asked her questions like, "What does your daddy do?" Katrina had a ready answer: "I don't have a daddy," she would chirp cheerfully. "My mother was artificially inseminated."

For a time, Katrina enjoyed her novel lineage. She liked the way adults admired her grasp of donor-conception biology, which she explained to them as frankly as if she were explaining Barbie dolls.

"I knew all about the birds and the bees and the concept of someone donating genetic raw material," said Katrina Clark, now 18 and a freshman at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. "I could understand it technically, but not socially and psychologically."


the rest-Excellent!
