Author Ian Jenkins will speak about the benefits and challenges of poly parenting and the battles he and his partners fought to become dads, and win the first ever birth certificate naming a poly family as the legal parents of a child. Along the way, they caught a doctor telling an elaborate lie to get out of working with them, survived frightening medical complications, and fought for their unborn child in court. Join the discussion on polyamory and the frontiers of family law and chosen families!

Ian Jenkins is a doctor, professor, writer… and part of a polyamorous “throuple” with partners Alan and Jeremy. They’re now the first poly family to be named as the legal parents of a child anywhere in the world. Three Dads and a Baby recounts the throuple’s herculean effort to overcome legal, medical, and social challenges to becoming parents and winning groundbreaking legal recognition as a family to protect their children.
