Our Families Ourselves

Each week, "elder" millennial moms Ann-Sophie and Maria meet people who challenge the traditional notion of family-forming and parenting. We explore the joy, the pain, and - let’s face it - dysfunction of creating a family. Adoption, IVF, surrogacy, child-free by choice, and more … these are our families, told through our voices.
