「奇跡の」赤ちゃんを産んだこと、トランスジェンダーの女性として子育てをしたこと、3組の双子を育てることまで、ニュージーランドの3人の母親がそれぞれのユニークな子育て体験を語ります。

タウランガ出身の介護者、トレッサ・シモンセンは、3組の二卵性双生児を出産した母親として知られています。これが起こる確率は50万対1です。彼女の息子、シャラズとシャキエル(24歳)、ダクランとダリウス(15歳)、ケリーとクレイマー(13歳)には3人の父親がいます。多胎出産による合併症のリスクが高いにもかかわらず、彼女の息子は全員健康です。特に彼女が線維筋痛症と関節リウマチと診断されたときには、6人の男の子を一人で育てるのは困難でした。しかし、彼女の息子たちは、特に家事や学校の運営など、協力的で助けてくれました。

トランスジェンダーの活動家、エンターテイナー、教育者であるレクシー・マセソンには4人の子供がいます。反トランスジェンダーの人々からの批判にもかかわらず、彼女は自分を母親と呼ぶ権利を主張している。彼女は1997年に異動し、後に現在の妻であるクシュラと結婚しました。彼らの息子、フィンは、結婚式の夜に妊娠しました。現在21歳のフィンは、レクシーの人生の絶対的な喜びです。フィンには、彼を愛し支えてくれる母親が二人いるのは幸運だと彼女は信じている。

受賞歴のあるジャーナリスト、写真家、ビジュアルアーティスト、活動家でもあるキアン・マタタ・シプは、多嚢胞性卵巣症候群による不妊症に苦しんでいました。彼女と彼女の夫は、6年間、さまざまな不妊治療とライフスタイルの変更を試みてから、やめることにしました。彼女の経験を雑誌の記事で紹介した後、彼女は自然に妊娠し、娘のハエアタ・テ・カプアを出産しました。4年後、彼女は流産に遭い、不妊の問題や喪失についてのオープンな議論を促しています。彼女の娘の名前は、母になるまでの道のりを象徴する、暗闇の雲を突き抜ける光線という意味です。
