Brandi Andrews reached a point in her life when she was ready to have a baby. She was not in a romantic relationship and knew her path would be a bit less traditional as a lesbian woman. Her gay best friend Lawrence was also ready to have a baby, too. So after a lot of talking and a parental contract laying the foundation for a co-parenting framework, they decided to start the journey as parents together. Their journey was filmed and shared on 9 Months by Courtney Cox.
Brandi shares her story from meeting Lawrence to co-parenting with him today, including:
- how she and Lawrence met and went from best friends to parents
- how friends and family reacted
- the process of getting pregnant
- the details of their parenting contract
- what parenthood has been like
- how parenthood has affected or changed her relationship with Lawrence
- what has surprised her the most
Brandi's story is unique, but many of the challenges are very relatable. Her honesty, vulnerability, and courage in parenting is refreshing and brave.
