AUTHENTICITY
WELCOME
Kilometer Thirteen welcomes each person as they are.
Persons who find their experience to be outside of
categories, persons of duality or multiplicity -
concurrent and nonconcurrent, as well as persons
of all genders, expressions of gender, sexual
orientations, races, ethnicities, peoples, ages,
abilities, and spiritual perspectives are welcome.
FAMILY
​
​​​​​​​Families are welcome in their unique configurations.​​​​
Kilometer Thirteen appreciates the special relationship
of each parent to the baby. Each parent is honored and
addressed by their preferred parental role and gender
designations. ​When personal preferences are unknown,
Kilometer Thirteen recognizes the earth, moon, sun, and stars.​​​​​
​​​
​
​​EARTH
The earth parent carries the pregnancy.
​
​
​
​​​
​
​​​​​​​​​MOON
The moon parent contributes the egg.
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​
​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​SUN
The sun parent contributes the sperm.
​​
​
​​

​​​​​​
​
​​​​​​​​STARS
Star parents shine brightly in the cosmology of the baby.
Stars may embody any of a variety of experiences,
such as declared parent, foster parent,
adoptive parent, and legal guardian, etc.

refers to the earth parent having a "perennial" pregnancy.
