Summary:

Parenthood is a big step for anyone irrespective of their sexual orientation. But because gay and lesbian parents have broken the traditional family mold, they have even more choices to make. How will they get a child? Who will be the designated parents? How will they define each parents' role? Will their children have a difficult time socially? We meet Leigh, a lesbian single mother, who advertises in a gay newspaper for a man to be an active co-parent. The film tracks her search and discovers what is involved when embarking on such a mission. Glen has two young boys whom he fathered for a lesbian couple. Glen and his partner share custody of the boys with the women and have developed a unique system of sharing child care. A lesbian couple, Erin and Theresa, have newly born twins after Theresa impregnated herself at home with sperm from an anonymous donor. We follow Erin's legal battle to be a guardian of the children.
