Karen Wesolowski, 42, and Martha Padgett, 38, met in August 2000, while working in health care at a California hospital. After a whirlwind romance spent traveling the world, Martha moved into Karen's home in Riverside, Calif., and they began their lives together as a lesbian couple.

Family has always been important to Karen and Martha. Karen, a physical therapist and director of rehabilitation, grew up in Riverside. She has two brothers, one of whom has two children of his own. Martha, a nurse for a local hospital, was born in Mexico City and is one of five children.  After relocating to the United States, Martha and her siblings began having families and she became an aunt to several nieces and nephews.

When Karen and Martha first met, Martha had a 3-year-old daughter, Julia, from a previous marriage.  Karen soon became Julia's doting stepmother. As time went on, however, the two women desperately wanted children of their own. Thus began the process of trying to get pregnant through in-vitro fertilization.

After three unsuccessful years of procedures using Karen's eggs and an anonymous sperm donor, the two women were almost ready to give up.  Mentally and financially exhausted, Martha suggested using Martha's eggs, as she was younger than Karen.  They also decided to up the odds by implanting two embryos into both moms.  Miraculously, their plan worked — better than expected. Each mom got pregnant … with two babies!

Quads With Two Moms tells Karen and Martha's heartfelt story of going from a family of three to seven, juggling their hectic and exciting new lives as mothers to four adorable babies.
