Milo’s moms are really great, but he sometimes wonders what life would be like with a mom and dad instead of two moms. I mean, he loves his moms and all. And he knows that they love him too. But he just feels like they don’t “get” him sometimes and that maybe a dad, by virtue of also being a guy, would understand him more. So, when Milo’s doctor suggests that genetic testing of his biological father could help develop a better treatment plan for his insanely varied and severe allergies, Milo latches onto the opportunity to find his bio dad. The first step of which is to reach out to his half-sister, Hollis, whom he had met as a young child. Hollis also had lesbian mothers who used the same sperm donor, which is how they came to meet in the first place, but she wasn’t really interested in finding her dad. Nevertheless, reconnecting with Milo and his moms seemed to be the first thing to make Hollis’ mom, Leigh, happy since Hollis’ other mom, Pam, died years before… So, she decided to roll with it and see how things turned out.
What started out as a suggestion to request genetic testing relating to Milo’s allergies quickly morphed into something else. After posting to a message board for the clinic their moms had used, Milo and Hollis discovered that they had three more half-siblings. What were they like? Would they get along? Would they be able to work together and find their donor/dad? What would this new “f-word” (family) look like in the end?!?
