Feeling like an imposter mom

knit1purr2So I have been a mom for about 3 years now. I have tried to be a good mom. But sometimes I don't feel like I have been a mom long enough to really be a mom. So there is an organization were moms (and dads) that are support the LGBT* Community, often by going to pride events and offering hugs to participants. Because not everyone has supportive families. I think this is a nice way for allies to offer support...but I don't feel like I am mom enough to do that.
But today, seeing another young mom post about it, I am starting to feel that I could do this. So I am going to see if there are any local events I can go to this month and get a shirt and put myself out there.
Side note: I want to make sure that my kid is comfortable with who they are and know that I will love them no matter way.
Side Side Note: Conversation I had with my kiddo the other day, which made me giggle.
Me: Are you a boy?
Kiddo: No
M: Are you a girl?
K: No
M: What are you?
K: I'm [First Name Last Name]!
