Casey and Sarah share their beautiful, uniquely queer family-building journey—featuring a known donor (Sarah’s brother!), a nonbinary pregnancy, chestfeeding after top surgery, and building a milk-sharing network. Plus, we dive into Sarah’s breast cancer diagnosis and how their love and resilience are carrying them through. Full of heart, humor, and radical queer joy. 🌈
Through all the twists and turns, Casey and Sarah’s story is a powerful reminder: queer families show up for each other, through everything—birth, milk, chemo, and beyond.
