“[Because I carried our child,] I think it often gets overlooked that he was [my partner’s] son too and that makes me really sad. But one of her family members really got it. Her grandmother has an enormous quilt on her wall, and it has the family tree on it. They put Oren on the family tree as [my partner’s] son. They got that he was her son too.”
