Florence and Robin: Lesbian Parenthood

Florence and Robin are currently immersed in fertility charts, thermometers, and ovulation kits. Like many other young couples, they are trying to have a baby. The only difference is that Florence and Robin are lesbians. This frank program follows their extraordinary journey towards parenthood in a land of extreme attitudes toward lesbianism, from a sperm bank run by lesbians for lesbians in San Francisco to the traditionalism of Virginia, where a lesbian mother recently lost custody of her son. Florence Spalding (the partner trying to conceive) and Robin Ruotolo give a unique insight into their struggle in a world which considers them abnormal. The program also meets the children of lesbian and gay couples and talks to pupils at a nursery school where one in six has gay parents. Most children of the "Gayby Boom" are under six years old; there is no certain knowledge of how their lives will develop, and expert opinion varies. Most homosexuals come from heterosexual families. Who can say how these children will grow up? Meanwhile, Florence and Robin anxiously await the results of their pregnancy test. (52 minutes)
