Rooted In Love, Defined By Law
The accompanying documentary to "Roots In My Garden", featuring the real-life participants in the landmark LGBTQ+ second-parent adoption case.
Through deeply personal stories, this documentary traces the emotional and legal battles faced by LGBTQ+ parents—particularly non-biological mothers—fighting for parental rights in a system that long refused to recognize their families. The film captures decades of struggle, resilience, and the gradual evolution of laws, while highlighting the ongoing vulnerabilities queer families face in the shifting legal and political landscape.
