Ian Jenkins is a hospital doctor, safety specialist and professor, and one of three dads to the first two kids ever given a birth certificate recognizing a polyamorous family. His journey to fatherhood through embryo donation, IVF, surrogacy and more is recounted in "Three Dads and a Baby: Adventures in Modern Parenting" and was covered by Huffpost, CNN, the BBC, and dozens of other outlets in the US, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Here is what to expect on this week’s show:
– Breaking societal norms and feeling confident in your choices.
– The societal pressure to conform.
– The difficulties of opening up a relationship and searching for a partner for both already existing partners.
– The experience of socializing their children as three parents instead of two.
– The obligations of three parents and the ramifications in the legal business and social.
