Three Dads and a Baby: Adventures in Modern Parenting

I put this on both my merica shelf and my California shelf because the author talks about laws in different states and live in California; laws about surrogacy, IVF, gay marriage, paternal leave, and birth certificates. I appreciated Ian's medical background and how he wish the medical field would change in logical aspects. I also found Ian to be likable, reasonable, relatable, authentic, at times playful, respectful, and knowledgeable.

I was warmed by hearing about the trials and successes of this lovely family. Made me miss my Santa Cruz days and the “family” I experienced there and participated in as an ally.

I was so happy at their legal success at having all three fathers listed on their little one's birth certificate and how they stuck up for themselves at the hospital to obtain the wrist bans for visiting her.
