After author Harlyn Aizley gave birth to her daughter, she watched in unanticipated horror as her partner scooped up the baby and said, "I"m your new mommy!" While they both had worked to find the perfect sperm donor, Aizley had spent nine months carrying the baby and hours in labor, so how could her partner claim to be their child's mommy? Many diapers later, Aizley began to appreciate the complexity of her partner's new role as the other mother.
This candid peek into a previously unexamined side of lesbian parenthood is meant to be a round-the-campfire, true-story-share for this group of pioneering parents who are telling the truth about their particular and evermore common journey.
