2 Mums and a Dad

"This stunningly frank, beautifully observed portrait of three strong-willed adults and a baby transcends the cheap theatrics of reality TV to deliver real drama. Fiona and Kellie, a no-nonsense Aussie couple in their thirties, want to have a child. So does Darren, a gay, equally outspoken Englishman who works with Fiona. They discuss at length how such a scenario would work and negotiate the details of Darren’s involvement from sperm donor through expectant dad to off-site father. After reviewing the agreement and mulling its weight in the eventuality it will be used in court, Darren’s attorney observes, “The law is still struggling to catch up with concepts of family.” Of course, the best contract is one entered into by people who trust.
