It all began in 1983 in the basement of a church.
They were a dozen or so lesbians in committed relationships who wanted to be good mothers. Some already had children, and some were still figuring out how to make it happen.
One woman even handed out mimeographed instructions on how to artificially inseminate with a syringe and sperm from a donor.
During a recent weekend, 10 of those women filled the living room of a home in Seattle’s Greenwood neighborhood.
