A gay, polyamorous California throuple made history in 2017 when they became the first family in the state to list three parents on a birth certificate.
Their reproductive journey and legal battle to become fathers to Piper, now 3, is detailed in “Three Dads and a Baby” (out March 9, Cleis Press), written by one of her dads, Dr. Ian Jenkins.
Jenkins and his partners, Jeremy Hodges and Dr. Alan Mayfield, don’t see their family — which now also includes their son, Parker, 1 — as unusual.
“The fact that Piper has three parents is just not a big deal. I have three parents myself — my mother, father and stepmother — and no one thinks anything of it,” Jenkins writes in the book. “Some people seem to think it’s about a ton of sex or something, or we’re unstable and must do crazy things. [But] it’s really remarkably ordinary and domestic in our house and definitely not ‘Tiger King,’” referring to Joe Exotic’s wild gay throuple featured in the buzzy Netflix docuseries.
Jenkins met Mayfield, a psychiatrist, while they were completing their medical residencies in Boston. The two were together for eight years when Hodges, who works at a zoo hospital, came into the picture.
Although their relationship with Hodges began as a friendship, things quickly turned romantic. After five years of throuple-dom, the trio started seriously discussing parenthood when friends offered to donate their leftover embryos to them.

Interesting.
I once watched or read an interview of a homosexual man, he boldly stated that men and men are generally more suited for one another because they share more similar sex drives.
Not two but three...ok then.😉
Not possible.
Poor kid...have to go to 3 funerals for her father. No funeral for mom and real dad. If they ain’t faithful to each other, I wonder how many in their cohort will die of sexually transmitted diseases?
Sounds confused and unhealthy for all involved.
Why is someone other than the biological birth parents listed on any birth certificate?
that’s gwine be one screwed up kid
They rented a mother’s womb and all three men contributed. So when two of the throuple leave who gets the children? If one goes does he pay child support to the other two? Check back in 5 years and we’ll see what this looks like. Do all three have to consent for an operation? This is lunacy and as usual with all hedonistic, narcissistic progressive ideas, children suffer. See abortion on demand.
