Making Queer Family: How Does That Work?

So a dragon, and pterodactyl, and a fish walk into a bar...

No, that doesn't work.

When three people love each other verrry much...

Still not right.

Hmph.

First comes love, then comes poly-marriage, then comes baby in the baby carriage, ...

That's not even chronologically accurate.

So five years ago there was this boy.  At a party.  He told me the stories behind each of his tattoos, and I painted a moonrise reflected over a lake on his skin.  We fell in love.  It took me a while to notice.  In the years it took me to reciprocate, he also fell in love with the most amazing man.  A little more than a year ago I found the courage to love him back, and the three of us began a journey towards being family.  Queer, poly, thrupple-y family.  And now we're trying to bring the first of (probably) a soccer team of tiny humans into the world.  Specifically, we are working on bringing home Tk.
