The Journal of Marriage and Family from June of 2010 contains an article that I (and some other students in the class) were required to read for another class. The article is titled Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Families, by Timothy J. Biblarz and Evren Savci, and is a decade review on the research done about the aforementioned. On page 483, under the heading of "Negotiating identities and social positions" there is a discussion about Lesbian mothers, and a comment that biological mothers have a status that is more valued by the child.
This reminded me of an article I read a while back about stem cell research:

The article talks about the possibility of creating sperm from embryonic stem cells.
I found this to be interesting, just in terms of the biological argument, wondering what it might be like in these situations if both mothers were biological.
