Lesbian Female / 39
A Most Unconventional Family
I was 27, she was 23. We met at work, and shared many similar feelings. Over a period of a year we decided to move in together. There appeared on the scene an older 'wise' man. At 32 I submitted to his desire and became pregnant. A year later while my girlfriend and partner was playing with our baby, I told her she should consider getting pregnant.
Five years later, much older and wiser we had four children between us. Being the younger partner, and lower earner she opted to stay home to save on child care. All along the wise man showered us with emotional, and financial support, allowing us to live a comfortable upper middle class lifestyle.
Ten years had passed since we met him, several girlfriends had come and gone. We decided to adopt him. Making him the man of the hour. He accepted, we told him no more girlfriends, we were there if he wanted us.
From days when being gay raised eyebrows, to days when getting pregnant on purpose with a donor, to now living in a household of a man and two women, we can't ask for more. Really. Let the neighbors' imagination go wild, it's the question on their lips but never spoken. While we cuddle at night beside him. He's ours and our children's' father figure. Peace on Earth, Peace in our Home, what more can we ask for.
