Portfolio: Stories: Raising Wade

Rasing a 3 year old can be a challenge for any family.  

Lesbian couple Lois Bukowski and Katie Baer have been together for 15 years and have been married/commited to each other for over 10 years. 3 years ago they decided to have a family and their son Wade Baer-Bukowski was born. Wade is the biological son of Katie and was adopted by Lois when he was born.  

Despite facing the hardships and stereotypes of being a lesbian couple trying to raise a family, they raise Wade in a home that is filled with love and normality.
