“A tender story about the variety of people that make children feel loved and supported.” —Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books Stella’s class is having a Mother’s Day celebration, but what’s a girl with two daddies to do?

Fortunately, Stella finds a unique solution to her party problem in this sweet story about love, acceptance, and the true meaning of family. “Told with both a light touch and an astute eye toward a child’s perspective and heartfelt concerns.” —School Library Journal “A raucous happy ending.” —The New York Times

As teachers, when Tom Oakley and Tod McMillen first begin to talk about starting a family, they each tried to find as much information as possible, as they wanted to learn about the best way to go about this life changing decision. There was very little information geared towards gay men, so after a few months of searching, a little reading, and legally changing their names to McMillen-Oakley, they felt comfortable diving into the adoption process head first. They thought they knew everything. They were wrong. It is said that love makes a family. But in this case it was a teenage girl with two moms, a couple of lawyers, and just three weeks to get ready that made this particular family. This is the story of how their family was born, first through the private adoption of their daughter, and then expanding it with the adoption of their son from foster care three years later. Their adoption experience challenges the notion of what makes a family and sheds new light on the world of open adoption and LGBT parenting. While Tom and Tod thought they were just adopting a baby girl, they got much more. And the kids? They got two daddies.
