Families come in all forms, but parental love is universal . . . As a closeted teen, Ian wondered if he would ever be able to live openly with a male partner. Years later, he had not one but two partners in a polyamorous Throuple--what more could he ask for? But something was still missing . . . Join Ian and his partners, Alan and Jeremy, as they embark on a sometimes hilarious, sometimes tearful quest to become parents. They run the gauntlet: IVF failures, the threat of Zika virus, the urgent hunt for a new doctor, pregnancy-threatening bleeds, costly legal battles and a reluctant superior court judge. Ultimately the grace of women--embryo donors, their egg donor, their surrogate, even a surprise milk donor--allow them to complete their family with one perfect girl, and become the first polyamorous family ever named as the legal parents of a child.

Ian Jenkins, MD, is a hospital medicine doctor, patient safety specialist, and professor at the University of California, San Diego, but he is most proud of his unique family. Ian lives in a "Throuple," or polyamorous triad, with his two partners, Alan and Jeremy. Thanks to the generosity of five amazing women, they're blessed with two wonderful children--the first kids in the world to have a poly family as their legal parents.
