[[caption-width-right:300:[[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_day_3017.png Who's your daddy, Vivio?]]]]

->''"Ever since then, I have had two mothers. Well, this is a little bit unusual, but both of them are my precious mothers."''
-->-- '''Vivio''', ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid''

The two may be lovers, who have now become a family through adoption, a [[ChosenConceptionPartner helpful]] [[GlorifiedSpermDonor donor]], or [[HomosexualReproduction through the wonders of magic or science]], with added likelihood of PatchworkKids if the latter. The two may be close siblings (but not ''[[BrotherSisterIncest that]]'' close) or the best of friends, with one of them wishing to help out their single parent buddy. The two may be in that very fine line between the previous two examples, giving much ShipTease and HoYay to the delight of their fans.

Whatever the reason, it's all the same: A family unit that cheerfully ignores the traditional view of a family requiring a father and mother, by having two (or more!) parents, parental figures, or {{Parental Substitute}}s of the same sex. Nevertheless, one of these characters may be referred to by the opposite gender parental term; sometimes in personal amusement, sometimes out of jest, sometimes to fit with the standard family unit. In fiction, CastSpeciation will usually result in the two parents fitting into a father and a mother role anyway. Usually, the child will be the same gender as their parents.

Taken to its logical extreme, this trope overlaps with HomosexualReproduction and/or ExtraParentConception, or possibly even ConjoinedTwins. Compare AllLesbiansWantKids. Non-sexual examples overlap with PlatonicCoParenting.

Meanwhile, ''Comicbook/Thor2020'' sticks to the standard story that Thor's mother was Gaea. In the ''Avengers 1000000 BC'' oneshot, it eventually turns out [[spoiler: that after the Pheonix and Odin split up, the Phoenix convinced Gaea to start a relationship with Odin, and then delivered the child, so considers itself to be Thor's mother ''in addition'' to Gaea.]]

* Franchise/WonderWoman had ''an entire island'' of mommies and sisters who saw her as a surrogate daughter seeing as the Amazons function as a OneGenderRace.

-->'''Mr. Ping:''' [[spoiler:It doesn't mean less for me, it means more for Po]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoBatmanMovie'', since Batman decides to tell him that Bruce Wayne and Batman co-adopted him, Robin spends most of the movie believing he has two dads. As in the original comics, it still counts when Alfred is considered.

* Many have seen Timon and Pumbaa ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' as being [[AmbiguouslyGay coded-gay]].

In ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingOneAndAHalf'', Timon even refers to the part of their lives looking after Simba as "parenting."

* ''Film/ThreeGenerations'': Dolly and her partner Frances are this for Maggie, Dolly's daughter, whom she considers to both be her moms. It's not clear what's become of Maggie's father, Dolly's husband before she came out, but they later raised her together.

* In the second ''Literature/ApprenticeAdept'' trilogy, Flach's parentage is... Complicated. His biological father is Bane, Stile's son. But he was (intentionally) conceived by Mach, Bane's opposite number from Proton, [[FreakyFridayFlip in Bane's body]]. Mach is considered Flach's "true" father and Bane his "uncle." Everyone considers Stile is his grandfather, regardless. Flach's Proton opposite, Nepe, is just as complicated, but for [[TrulySingleParent different]] [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots reasons.]]
* ''Literature/AscendanceOfABookworm'': Myne's noble identity Rozemyne officially had both a birth family and an adoptive family within the nobility.

He calls each of them [[HonoraryUncle Uncle]].
-->''David Starr ''was'' [Conway's] son; his and Augustus Henree's. ... They were both mother and father to him...''
* In the ''Literature/CoralDawnTrilogy'', this is true for just about all the secondary characters, being that they're a bunch of lesbians who've gone off and colonized a distant planet. In fact, the only cast members who have a mentioned father are the Unity, and he's not mentioned after the prologue. The author really was [[DoesNotLikeMen that gay]].
%%* ''Literature/DaddysRoommate'' also has a similar theme.
* ''Franchise/TheDarkTower'': Mordred sort of fits this trope. He has two dads ([[spoiler:Roland]] and the Crimson King) ''and'' two moms ([[spoiler:Susannah]] and the succubus Mia) plus a [[spoiler:semen carrier/impregnator]] extra parent in one of the 6 elemental demons. It fits here because he inherits most of his traits from his fathers, who he calls his White Daddy and Red Daddy.

The resulting fetus is then developed to term in a uterine replicator.
* In ''Literature/FriedGreenTomatoesAtTheWhistleStopCafe,'' Idgie and Ruth lived together and raised Ruth's son together. TheFilmOfTheBook implied they were in love but not lovers. The book [[HideYourLesbians implied everything it could without saying it]].
* The German novel ''Gottes Bodenpersonal: Eine Unwahrscheinliche Liebesgeschichte'' (''[[Literature/GodsGroundCrewAnUnlikelyLovestory God's Ground Crew, An Unlikely Lovestory]]'') has the two male protagonists foster a teenage boy at the end.

It's later revealed that [[spoiler:Lan Sizhui is the same toddler that Wei Wuxian partially raised in his first life, meaning the latter was already a parental figure to him back then]].

* Creator/MercedesLackey's ''Literature/HeraldsOfValdemar'':
** In the ''Literature/LastHeraldMageTrilogy'', there are a pair of [[MagicalNativeAmerican Hawkbrother]] mages who raise a son together. They used a fellow Hawkbrother as a surrogate mother, as she wanted a child too, and agreed to have twins (magic can guarantee that), one going with her, one going with the male couple. The biological father is the protagonist, Vanyel.
** In the ''Vows and Honor'' stories, after retiring from mercenary work, HeterosexualLifePartners Tarma and Kethry run a sword-and-sorcery school together and [[BabiesEverAfter raise Kethry's kids]] along with Kethry's husband as a three-parent family. Because Tarma and Kethry are [[BloodBrothers Blood Sisters]] and are all that is left of Tarma's Shin'a'in tribe (and Tarma is celibate by oath), the children are given the choice whether to join the Shin'a'in and help rebuild the tribe; Tarma is their Clanmother.

* In the novel (and film adaptations of) ''Film/{{Imitation of Life|1934}}'', a white widow with a daughter takes in a black maid who also has a daughter and they form a FamilyOfChoice, raising their children together.

* Claudia in ''Literature/InterviewWithTheVampire'' has both Lestat and Louis for vampire dads.
* Swindapa and Marion, the interracial lesbian couple in ''Literature/IslandInTheSeaOfTime'', adopt an abandoned baby girl, and name her Heather. They know about the book, they just have an odd sense of humor.
* ''Literature/{{Jenny Lives with Eric and Martin}}'' (originally ''Mette bor hos Morten og Erik'') by Suzanne Bösche was an originally-Danish early-1980s children's book about a little girl being brought up by her father and his male partner. The revelation that a London school had a copy in its library caused outrage from [[UsefulNotes/BritishNewspapers the Daily Mail]] that played a major role in driving the creation of the notorious homophobic law known as "Clause 28", which banned "promotion" of homosexuality in schools and was repealed in 2003.
* In ''[[Literature/KingAndKingAndFamily King & King & Family]]'', the sequel to ''[[Literature/KingAndKing King & King]]'' (a Dutch book that caused a lawsuit because some ass didn't like that "romantic attraction between two men is being presented to my 7-year-old as wonderful, and good and the way things should be"), the newlywed kings "find a lonely orphaned girl, whom they adopt and raise as a princess".
* In ''Knowing Me, Knowing You'' by Helen Bailey, Channy discovers that the man she thought was her dad adopted her; her biological father, Pete, is someone with whom her mother had an affair.

* The ''Literature/LeftBehind'' Antichrist villain Nicolae Carpathia had two biological fathers who were both gay and was raised mostly by his mother and Viv Ivins until Nicolae and Viv had the mother disposed of.

* There's a scene in ''Literature/ALilyBloomsInAnotherWorld'' where Miyako is confused when [[spoiler:Aisha suddenly proclaims that "Mama's home" when Shan Li, her mother, is already in the room. It turns out Aisha is talking about Maria, Shan Li's wife. It's revealed that Shan Li had Aisha with someone else during her time as a concubine, but Aisha clearly sees Maria as her second parent.]] Notably, this scene occurs right after [[spoiler:Fuuka departs for the capital and leaves a letter to Miyako claiming it's impossible for them to have a life together as two women. Seeing two women having a happy family together inspires Miyako to not give up and decide to go after Fuuka.]]
* In ''Literature/{{Loveless}}'', Jason is mentioned to have two fathers who fell in love with each other while training in the same field.

* In ''Literature/RangersAtRoadsend'', Chip has two mommies. Who disowned her when she didn't stick to the career they had chosen for her.

* In ''Literature/TheRedTent'', Dinah is Leah's biological daughter, but as the only daughter, Dinah is closely bonded with all of her father's wives and considers them all mother figures.
* In ''Literature/{{Renegades}}'', Adrian was adopted by Captain Chromium and Dread Warden, a couple of gay superheroes, as a kid, and refers to them as his dads.
* A variation occurs in the ''Literature/SecretSeries'', where Cass has two ''grandfathers'' instead. (Which is to say, two grandfathers [[AmbiguouslyGay who live together and come as a pair,]] not in the usual sense of having both a maternal and paternal grandfather.) Neither is biologically related to her or her mother, [[HonoraryUncle they just like to think of each other as family.]]
* In Creator/JohnSandford's ''Literature/ShadowPrey'', cousins Sam and Aaron Crow raised their mutual lover's son, Shadow Love.
* ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'': Maedhros and Maglor are brothers. They kidnap, adopt and raise Elrond and Elros... and proceed to apparently do a better job of raising their ill-gotten children than 90% of the parents in the book (including their own parents). While the BigBad is running amok on the continent no less.
* ''Literature/SingYouHome'' by Creator/JodiPicoult is about a lesbian couple trying to use frozen embryos to have a child.
* Creator/WenSpencer:
** The ''Literature/UkiahOregon'' series has the main character, Ukiah Oregon, a former feral child raised with his [[HomosexualReproduction sister]] Callie by a lesbian couple.
** Spencer also wrote ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'', which takes place in a world where males are so rare that they marry every sister in a family, and no one ever speaks of just "mother", always "mothers". Men get the brunt of childcare duties, but as they are rather fragile, if a husband dies without leaving an old enough son it's left to the mothers to raise the children.
* A fair few in the ''Literature/StarTrekNovelVerse''. In the ''Literature/StarTrekEnterpriseRelaunch'', Trip Tucker's brother and his husband have adopted a son together. In ''Literature/StarTrekTheLostEra'': "The Buried Age," among the supporting characters, there are two female scientists who are married and raising children. In the same series, in the novel ''Serpents Among the Ruins'', one character is shown to have two male parents, and a Romulan with an (adult) son mentions a mate of the same sex. There are also four-sexed Andorians; with two sexes looking "male" and two "female", they have both two mommies and two daddies by default, though that's cheating of course.
* The children's book ''Literature/AndTangoMakesThree'' is all about two male penguins at the Central Park Zoo in New York who take care of an egg, and then raise the resulting baby penguin, that another penguin couple cannot. BasedOnATrueStory, the two penguins eventually drifted apart in RealLife.
* ''Literature/ThatIrresistiblePoison'' by AlessandraHazard: Prince Seyn and his siblings were raised by Queen Janesh and her wife.
* The protagonist of ''[[Literature/TheirsNotToReasonWhy Theirs Not To Reason Why]]'' was raised by her biomother and her stepmother, a married same-sex couple. Because Ia's home planet is newly colonized her mothers were unable to use sperm donors and instead conceived her and her two brothers through one-night-stands. The fathers are not involved in their lives (Ia and her half-twin only know the identity of theirs through Ia's ability to scry the past) and the children consider the two women their only parents.
* In ''Literature/TheTrialsOfApollo'', Kayla, a background character from ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'', is revealed to be the daughter of the Greek god Apollo and a male archery coach named Darren Knowles. Apollo says gods are capable of many marvels.
* In ''Literature/UnseenAcademicals'', Ponder Stibbons is an example of {{Nephewism}} and also this, having been brought up by multiple aunts.
* Cyrus Finch ([=CyFi=]) in ''Literature/{{Unwind}}'' has two dads.
* In ''Literature/{{Victoria}}'', all children in [[LadyLand Azania]] are this, since its Amazonian inhabitants reproduce only through [[HomosexualReproduction eugenic cloning]]. Though technically, neither parent is the "mother," as the daughters are gestated in supertech cloning vats, rather than carried to term.
* ''Literature/TheVirginSuicides'' by Jeffrey Eugenides includes a character named Trip Fontaine, a popular boy being raised by his father and his father's boyfriend, Donald.
* In ''Literature/WeetzieBat'', Weetzie wanted to have a child, but her boyfriend refused to, so she had sex with her best friend and his boyfriend. She eventually made up with her boyfriend, but no one knew who the biological father of the child was, so the four of them raised her together.
* ''Literature/WiedergeburtLegendOfTheReincarnatedWarrior'': GenderFlipped with Kari, whose mother Empress Hilda took multiple husbands. Kari's biological father Valence worked together with his co-husbands Rainer and Dante to help raise her and her brothers Mykkel and Geirolf.

---> '''May''': I'm his daughter.\\
'''Bobby''': You don't need to lie, May.\\
'''May''': I have two fathers and you're one of them
* One episode of ''Series/{{Amen}}'' had sisters Amelia and Cassietta deciding to co-adopt a baby, ending up with a situation like the one in ''Patrik, Age 1.5'' above. The episode ended with their son [[StatusQuoIsGod deciding to join the military]].
* In ''Series/{{AlteredCarbon}}'' Season 2, TJ Imani has two moms in Trepp and Myka.

* The Henrickson kids on ''Series/BigLove'' have three mommies, who often seem more emotionally involved with each other than with their mutual husband; some of the other polygamist families are even more complicated.
* After the events of Season 5 of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', Buffy's kid sis Dawn is raised by lesbian witches Willow and Tara for a good portion of Season 6. Though one could make the argument that the entire Scooby Gang (including Spike, if in a Disreputable Uncle kind of way) helped, it's quite clear that Dawn sees Willow and Tara as surrogate parents -- there's a reason she became their ShipperOnDeck, and after Tara broke up with Willow she and Dawn met in [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything a scene very reminiscent of a divorced parent trying to keep contact with her child]]. In the canonical "Season 8" comic series Dawn tells [[PromotionToParent Buffy]] that she sees Willow as her mother figure. %% It's not necessary to mention Tara's death in the example, as Tara's breakup with Willow is already mentioned.
* In ''Series/TheDarkCrystalAgeOfResistance'', [[FriendToAllLivingThings Deet]] has two fathers. They don't appear very often while she's away taking part in the plot, but they clearly did a good job of raising her and her little brother.
* Discussed in ''Series/DeadToMe'', when Judy thinks she might be pregnant, and worries about being a single mother, especially since she's already a tad unstable. Her [[HeterosexualLifePartners best friend]] Jen (already a mother of two) immediately says that she'd gladly raise the baby with her. Judy seems happy with this suggestion, and the two muse on the idea of being a "mothering team." It's a fitting sentiment since Judy already lives with Jen and has a caring relationship with her sons.
* ''Series/{{Dickinson}}'': {{Discussed}} when Sue is heavily pregnant and wistfully wishes she could raise the baby with Emily, asking why children can't have two mothers.
* ''Series/ADiscoveryOfWitches'': Diana was raised by her lesbian aunts after losing both of her parents as a child. They appear to have served as surrogate parents ever since.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E7AGoodManGoesToWar “A Good Man Goes to War”]], River Song has two mothers. Her birth mother Amy Pond who she was taken from and her adoptive mother Madame Kovarian. Kovarian raised her as an assassin and made clones and was abusive.
** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E2TheShakespeareCode "The Shakespeare Code"]], Lilith refers to her fellow Carrionites as Mother Bloodtide and Mother Doomfinger, and it's [[OneGenderRace probably literal]].
** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E9ItTakesYouAway "It Takes You Away"]], the Doctor says she had seven grandmothers. This is not elaborated on further (including how many parents she had, or whether [[TheNthDoctor regeneration]] was involved), but it implies that at least one of her parents had at least two mothers.
* One of the lighter elements of ''Series/DropDeadDiva'' is that Jane deals with Deb's mother, Bobbie, and Jane's mother, Elaine.
* ''Series/TheFirstLady'': {{Discussed}} as some of the Obama kids' friends have same-sex parents. Malia urges that her dad publicly come out in favor of same-sex marriage after mentioning this. Barack later does so, citing the fact that his daughters have friends with same-sex parents as one reason to (a friend of theirs is shown watching this on TV happily with her dads).
* In an episode of ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}'', "Duets", set in an AndYouWereThere fantasy world based on musicals, we discover that [[spoiler:Millie!Iris has two fathers (Prof. Martin Stein and Joe Digby), who are a part of the imminent gang wars in a musical dream sequence]].
* ''Series/TheFosters'' is about a lesbian couple with one biological and two adopted children that take in two additional foster children.
* ''Series/{{Friends}}'' has Ross's former wife Carol and her partner Susan. Ross's son Ben splits his time between his dad and moms. In one episode, Ben refers to Chandler as "Daddy." [[spoiler:Of course, at the end of the show, it's indicated Ben ends up with three when Ross and Rachel are back together, this time for good.]]
-->'''Ross:''' No, no -- one daddy, two ''mommies''.
* ''Series/FullHouse'' (and its SequelSeries, ''Series/FullerHouse''): It's right there in the opening paragraph of its page -- three guys come together to raise three young girls (the first man is their widowed father, the second man is the girls' late mother's brother, and the third man is the father's best friend). ''Fuller House'' features two of the now-adult sisters and their neighbor from the first series in the same situation of raising the one sister's sons after her husband dies on the job.
* Rachel Berry on ''Series/{{Glee}}'' has two gay dads, and it is unknown which of the two is her biological father as they mixed their sperm together and used a turkey baster to impregnate her surrogate mother.

This continued until Season 9 when [[spoiler:Mark was killed off after the plane crash.]]
%%* Olivia and Natalia on ''Series/GuidingLight''. Started out as a platonic version of this, but has lately become something more.
* ''Series/{{Hannibal}}'':
** A rather twisted example between [[Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs Hannibal Lecter]] and FBI special investigator [[TheProfiler Will Graham]] with a serial killer's daughter that the two take care of after her father tried to [[OffingTheOffspring murder her]]. Will genuinely wants to protect her from the backlash of the public, the suspicions of his superiors of her part in the murders, and then partly due to the guilt he feels for killing her father. Hannibal's intentions are... less noble. Mainly, [[spoiler:making sure Abigail doesn't tell Will he was the one who called her house that day, as that would out him as the copycat killer]]. Exploited by Hannibal after Will finds out that Abigail [[spoiler:killed Nicholas Boyle and Hannibal helped hide the body, which was already [[XanatosSpeedChess part of another set up]]]]. He refers to the two of them as "her fathers".
** As of Season 3, the Verger family has a blood-related male heir to inherit the family estate upon Mason's death. While Mason's son, [[spoiler:Alana Bloom impregnated herself with the sperm she obtained from him in order for her girlfriend Margot to finally kill her brother without worrying about losing the Verger fortune]].

* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'':
** In the sixth season premiere, Cindy (a girl Ted struck out with on their first date) is dating another woman. In a flash-forward, the couple is seen posing for a photo with their daughter.
--->'''Future Ted:''' So no, that girl wasn't your mother. She ended up being someone else's mother. They both did.
** Barney's brother and his husband adopted two children.
** In one episode Barney proposes to Ted to adopt a child together (not because they are gay, but because they are both single middle-aged HeterosexualLifePartners who want to have kids).
* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': Claudia has two vampire fathers, Lestat de Lioncourt and Louis de Pointe du Lac, who are a same-sex couple. Although Lestat is her maker (and therefore her true vampire father), she addresses him as "Uncle Les" whereas Louis is "Daddy Lou." The latter is obviously her favourite parent, but she recognizes that she shares a lot in common with Lestat. It's lampshaded by Tom Anderson when he describes Claudia's fathers as "your two-tone daddies."
* ''Series/KateAndAllie'' had two divorced women living together with the combined three children from their respective marriages. Lampshaded in one episode in which the pair is MistakenForGay by their lesbian landlady.

Partway through the episode, [[spoiler:the biological mother dies, and that mother's parents sue the other mother for custody after a homophobic lawyer convinces them that the surviving mother is likely to molest the girl. They eventually realize they've been manipulated, but by then, they've irreparably damaged their relationship with the mother, who tells them she will no longer allow them to see their granddaughter.]]

* Bob and David have a daughter together in the ''Series/MrShow'' episode "Operation: Hell on Earth". They're never stated to be in a romantic relationship, but she is ''their'' daughter.

* ''Series/TheMurders'': Meg is married to another woman, with the couple having kids together. Their son gets in a fight at school after another boy calls them "dykes". Her wife Emily says not to pay attention, while Meg is glad he stood up for them but says fighting isn't how he should handle it.

* There was a lot of controversy about a segment on the Australian kids' show ''Series/PlaySchool'' that featured a girl that had "Two mummies". The little girl, Brenna Harding, then a teenager, went on to star in ''Series/PubertyBlues'', and thanked her mums in her speech for the Logie award she won.

Zelda introduces herself and Hilda as "Sabrina's aunts" at a parent-teacher meeting, then very quickly points out that they're "Sisters! Not an alternative couple!" Since they've been around for centuries, it's safe to assume they've been MistakenForGay at some point or another. Both have brought boyfriends home, including their fight over Mr. Kraft.
* Amanita Caplan of ''Series/Sense8'' has three possible fathers who all had an equal part in raising her. Her mother was a hippie who [[ReallyGetsAround really got around]] in her youth.

* ''Series/UnderTheDome'' has an interracial lesbian couple and their teenage daughter stuck in Chester's Mill after the dome comes down.

* ''Theatre/{{Falsettos}}'': Jason has three father figures, including Marvin, his biological father, and Whizzer, Marvin's boyfriend. As the musical progresses it is clear that Jason sees Whizzer as a father figure, as Whizzer is the only person who can convince Jason to go to therapy. Jason has another father figure in Mendel, however as Mendel and his mother get married it doesn't quite fit in this trope.
* At the end of '''Juno and the Paycock''' Juno's daughter Mary is pregnant and the Father has abandoned her.

* Toko Fukawa from ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'' has one dad and two moms. When questioned about how that works, she refuses to elaborate. [[spoiler:It turns out to be a subversion since School Mode reveals that what she really meant was that her parents got divorced and her father remarried.]] She explains it even further in ''VideoGame/DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls''. [[spoiler:Her father actually never married, he slept with both women and by sheer coincidence, they both gave birth at the same time in the same hospital. One of the two babies died soon after being born, but due to a mix-up by the doctors, they didn't know which baby it was. Both mothers refused to get a DNA test [[AbusiveParents since they both wanted their baby to be the dead one]].]]
* The player character can easily become part of such a family in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', as [[EveryoneIsBi all of the potential marriage partners are seemingly bi]] and none of them object to adopting children once married.
* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'', if a male [[PlayerCharacter Corrin]] marries Niles in the ''Revelation'' route, their [[WhereAreTheyNow paired ending]] states that they adopted two orphaned children and raised them to be heirs to the throne of Valla.
* In ''Videogame/GenshinImpact'', [[BornUnlucky Bennett]] was adopted by a group of adventurers after they found him as an abandoned infant. He refers to them as his "Dads" and his primary motivation for being an adventurer is to earn money to support them since they're all elderly and retired now.
* ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'':
** In ''VideoGame/GodOfWarAscension'', Orkos is the son of Ares and the Fury Alecto. Ares disowned him because he was not warrior material. He was raised by Alecto and her Fury sisters Tisiphone and Megaera, so he calls all three of them his mothers.
** In ''VideoGame/GodOfWar2018'' and ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'', young Atreus has his biological parents Kratos and Faye, but then later gets a second father in Mimir, who makes up for Kratos's shortcomings, and another mother in Freya, who immediately warms up to the boy and fills in the gap left behind by Faye's passing.
* At the beginning of ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'', previous heroes Isaac and Garet have raised their respective sons Matthew and Tyrell together, and basically act as though they're a family. No moms are in sight -- Matthew's ([[spoiler:[[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Jenna]]]]) is indicated to be alive and well in a different city, but Tyrell's isn't even mentioned. As you go through the game it seems that there's no enmity between Matthew's parents, which leads some to conclude that [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies she's living away for her safety]].
* One of the ads on a ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'' radio station was for a TV sitcom featuring an orphaned girl living with her 5 adoptive "uncles". ''GTA'' being ''GTA'', it was pretty blatant that only one guy at most was an actual uncle.
-->'''Girl:''' I'm an emotionally abused orphan! Can't I get in on any of these group hugs?\\
'''[='Uncle'=]:''' No, you stupid bitch!
* Lancelot from ''VideoGame/{{Guenevere}}'' was raised by his two mothers, Vathac and Vivien.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Hades}}'', Zagreus [[spoiler:is the son of Hades and Persephone, but was raised by Nyx and led to believe he was her biological son. Even after discovering the truth, Zagreus still loves Nyx as a mother, and she in turn continues to call him "my child". After Persephone returns to the Underworld in the ending, Zagreus reassures her -- when she expresses doubt in herself as a mother compared to Nyx -- that he's glad he gets to have two great mothers rather than one.]]
* Yu from ''VideoGame/Haven2020'' occasionally mentions her two mothers when discussing her life back on her home planet, One of them, the president of a prominent research corporation, is relevant to the plot, if only briefly.
* At the beginning of the 2017 propaganda sim ''HEADLINER'', you can choose to have both yourself and your spouse be of the same gender (either male or female), as your child is always female (i.e., your daughter).
* In ''VideoGame/HorizonZeroDawn'', this is the truth of Aloy's birth, who's been looking for her parentage in a matriarchal society. [[spoiler:Not only is she a clone of Elisabeth Sobeck, she was gestated by the mother goddess GAIA herself, making her the product of two female characters.]] Sylens himself lampshaded it, saying how Aloy had two mothers all along.
* ''VideoGame/IWasATeenageExocolonist'':
** Marz's dads, Aluminum and Burnish, head the colony's Construction crew, and pamper their little girl.
** Cal has four parents in all: [[{{Polyamory}} his mother Tirah and her three partners, two of which are her boyfriends.]]
* ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII'': [[spoiler:In the last section of the game, it's revealed that [[PlayerCharacter Ellie]] is raising her girlfriend's, [[BadassIsraeli Dina]], and her ex-boyfriend's, [[NiceGuy Jesse]], son, [=JJ=], together with Dina. However, in the epilogue Dina seemingly leaves Ellie (taking JJ with her) after growing sick of Ellie's refusal to give up her revenge quest on Abby.]]
* Ganondorf, the BigBad of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'', was raised by the Gerudo witch sisters Koume and Kotake, better known as the Twinrova sisters. Since the Gerudo are all female, except for one male every hundred years (Ganondorf being the only example shown in canon), they likely consider having two mothers to be normal. That said it's also stated the sisters are his Foster-Mothers. We don't know who his real mother is, or father for that matter.
* Blink and you'll miss it, but ''VisualNovel/MagicalDiary'''s Jacob has ''at least'' two dads. Considering the setting, it's entirely possible that they're both his [[MisterSeahorse biological parents]] but that's not known so far.
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':
** Possible and quite common with the asari, a OneGenderRace that [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe resembles humanoid females]] and appear to almost always have a feminine gender identity. They breed through melding of nervous systems and are capable of doing it with any species or gender. Their society frowns upon having two asari parents ("pureblood" is a racial slur among them), but it's not as uncommon as they would like to pretend, and females of other species are fair game, in any case. Specifically, Liara T'Soni has two asari mothers, though she never knew the one who "fathered" her, for lack of a better term. Defied in the third game when you can actually meet Liara's father. After Shepard briefly calls her Liara's "other mother", she gets annoyed and says that she's her father, not another mother; to the asari, "mother" specifically refers to the one who physically carries the child to term. [[note]] [[FridgeLogic Things must get awkward whenever a female human and an asari decide to start a family.]][[/note]]
--->'''Matriarch Aethyta:''' No, I didn't pop her out. I'm her father!\\
'''Shepard:''' I'm sorry, it's just that if you had been human, you would both be considered the mother, no matter who gave birth to her.\\
'''Aethyta:''' Well I'm not human, am I? [[SophisticatedAsHell Anthropocentric bag of dicks.]]
** The reason for the stigma against asari/asari pairs reproducing is that the children of such couples have a small chance of being on the Ardat-Yakshi spectrum, a condition which leaves them congenitally sterile and causes them to inflict brain hemorrhages in their partners when melding. Samara chose an asari bondmate and had an asari father herself. They had the misfortune of being the parents of the only three Ardat-Yakshi to be on the most extreme end of the spectrum, which causes instant death to their partners the first time they mind-meld.
** In ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda'', a male Ryder [[GayOption in a relationship with Gil]] [[spoiler:can agree to have a child with him by way of surrogacy and raise it together as a couple]]. Incidentally, [[spoiler:this marks the first time in a Creator/BioWare game where a PlayerCharacter and romance option -- gay or straight -- can make serious plans to have a child together[[note]]not including Aerie's potential SurprisePregnancy in ''VideoGame/BaldursGateII: Throne of Bhaal''[[/note]]]].
** Angara, due to their complicated family builds, can have multiple mothers, but only one "true" (in other words, biological) mother. Angaran teammate Jaal mentions he has five mothers. They also treat same-sex marriage as a normal means of creating families.
** In the 2020 N7 Day Cast & Crew Reunion, Sam Traynor's VA reveals she had 2 mums IRL.
* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'' has Snake and Otacon working together to raise Sunny, the biological daughter of Olga Gurlukovich.
* Samus in the ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' series can be viewed as having ''four'' fathers. Her human biological father, Rodney Aran (with her mother, Virginia), her adopted [[BenevolentPrecursors Cho]][[BirdPeople zo]] fathers, Old Bird and Gray Voice (who also donated some of his DNA to her, making her part Chozo and therefore a biological parent after the fact), and her surrogate father as a young adult, Adam Malokovich, her commanding officer. [[spoiler: ''VideoGame/MetroidDread'' adds a ''fifth'' father in [[ArchnemesisDad Raven Beak]], who also donated some of his DNA.]]
* ''VisualNovel/MonsterProm'': Damien mentions in a few events that he was raised by two fathers, though little else information about them is relayed besides Damien's rocky relationship with one of them due to the pressure of taking over hell.
* ''VideoGame/MonsterSanctuary'': According to their [[MonsterCompendium bio]], same-sex couples of dodos sometimes adopt orphaned eggs.
* In ''VisualNovel/OurLifeBeginningsAndAlways'', the main character (alongside their sister) is HappilyAdopted and raised by two mothers, Pamela and Noelani
* In ''VideoGame/PetalCrash'', Strelitz's story mode ending reveals that he has two mothers.
* Aura Blackquill and Metis Cykes from ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies''. The robots they jointly created previously referred to them both as Mama. [[spoiler:Until Metis was killed, which made Aura hate it. They now call her Miss Aura.]]
* In ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', you can obtain Pokémon eggs by [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction breeding any]] male and female Pokémon that are in the same egg group. The exception is Ditto, which can breed with nearly any Pokémon by transforming into it. Even if the other Pokémon's species [[OneGenderRace only has one sex.]] Also, due to [[GoodBadBugs glitches]], two Pokémon of the same sex can have eggs. For the terms of the Everstone exploit (equipping the mother Poke with an Everstone causes its nature to carry to the young), Ditto is considered the mother, even if the other Poke is female.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Potionomics}}'', the aspiring hero Mint tells Sylvia that she has two fathers, both of whom are bookworms.
* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'': Characters Dutch and Hosea are explicitly called protagonist Arthur Morgan’s ‘two daddies’ (his biological dad was abusive and his mom died when he was very young). They scooped him up as a street urchin and raised him together before they started their gang. Even twenty years on, Arthur still sees them as his family and writes in his journal that he loves both of them dearly.
* In ''VideoGame/RuneScape'''s Player-Owned Farms, putting two same-sex animals into the breeding pen can result in "adopted" young, but it is much less likely than opposite-sex animals breeding.
* Diane from ''VideoGame/ShiningForce'' has three mothers.
* [[Literature/ArsGoetia Belial and Nebiros]] have adopted [[AliceAllusion Alice]] as their surrogate daughter in ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei''. Mess with her and [[PapaWolf you]] ''[[PapaWolf will]]'' feel their wrath.
* Possible in ''VideoGame/TheSims'' series, through various means:
** The Roaring Heights DLC for ''VideoGame/{{The Sims 3}}'' has Dylan Shear and her wife Audrey (the first pre-made same-sex couple in the series, no less) who are raising a child together. Their flavour text mentions they used new technology to do so (despite the town [[GameplayAndStorySegregation supposedly]] being set in TheRoaringTwenties).
** Another notable example is the alien-hybrid baby Tycho Curious in ''VideoGame/TheSims2'', who not only has two [[MisterSeahorse biological]] [[FaceFullOfAlienWingWong dads]] but is also raised by three men (his human father Pascal and Pascal's two brothers, Vidcund and Lazlo).
** Then there's the Single Moms household in ''The Sims 3'' which is headed by two women, Fiona [=McIrish=] and Molly French, best friends who share a house and are raising their kids (Fiona's teenage daughter River and Molly's toddler daughter Sandi) together.
** Adoption is always available to the characters, allowing for any couple of any orientation (or even a single Sim) to get a child, with no fuss.
** Of course, there are {{Game Mod}}s that allow this for every game in the series. For example, there are mods that allow HomosexualReproduction, as well as one that has the Sim couple mix their genetics together at a hospital, and let the doctors grow the embryo(s) offscreen.
** An update for ''VideoGame/TheSims4'' added the feature for same-gender couples to impregnate each other. The "Island Living" pack features the Ngata family, led by Oliana Ngata and her wife Leila Illes, who raise their son Tane Ngata together.
* In ''VideoGame/StardewValley'', if you marry a same-sex partner, the only difference in raising a family is that your children come from adoption instead of pregnancy.
* ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasons'':
** In ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonDS Cute'', or better yet ''Sprite Station For Girl'' since the "wedding" feature is [[HideYourLesbians absent]] from the non-Japanese versions, if you choose one of the four [[PseudoRomanticFriendship Best Friend]] choices over marriage to any of the ''eleven'' bachelors, you eventually end up with a child who has two mommies. The Harvest King magically gives you a baby.
** In ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasonsFriendsOfMineralTown'', the Harvest Goddess gifts same-gender couples a baby.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Unpacking}}'', [[spoiler: the protagonist and her girlfriend/wife become good mothers to their child at the very end of the game.]]
* ''VideoGame/UtawarerumonoMaskOfDeception'': Kuon, as it turns out, was raised communally by her father's entire harem in his absence, giving her a grand total of ''five'' mothers. She refers to Eruruu, Karulau, Touka, and Ulthory as her mothers (though Karulau much prefers being called an elder sister), while her birth mother, Yuzuha, died either [[DeathByChildbirth in childbirth or shortly thereafter]]. She also has two fathers: her true father Hakuowlo (whom she has never met due to him being sealed) and her uncle Oboro, who actually raised her.
* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'': Mia is forever gushing about her parents and how much she desires to emulate them. It isn't until the end of her affinity mission that the player is informed that she was raised by two fathers. The game doesn't make a huge deal out of it, merely an expression of surprise on several characters when she makes the comment.
* ''VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon'' zig-zags this. The main protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga, was adopted and raised by the proprietor of a soapland, Jiro. But later on in the story, it's revealed that his biological father is none other than [[spoiler:his boss and patriarch, Masumi Arakawa. Due to circumstances surrounding his birth, Ichiban was hidden in a coin locker for the younger Masumi to pick up. But unbeknownst to him, another baby was hidden in the coin lockers at the same time, resulting in Masumi taking the wrong one. When Jiro came by later to check the coin lockers, he found Ichiban, making it seem like the handoff failed]]. When offered the chance to get a DNA test to see who his real father is, Ichiban refuses, believing this trope to be in play as both his adoptive and biological fathers are equally important to him.
* Implied in ''VideoGame/YoshisNewIsland''. When Mario and Luigi are brought to the right house in the ending cutscene, both their actual parents are shown with feminine figures.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Webcomics]]
* In ''Webcomic/AbeAndKroenen'', Abe [[http://abe-kroenen.livejournal.com/39360.html suggests that they might one day adopt and raise a child.]] Kroenen points out the many ways in which this would be a very bad idea.
-->"It would be like ''Series/MyTwoDads'' but instead of 'Dads' it is 'horrible monsters'. And instead of 'Two' it is '''horrible'''."
* In ''Webcomic/AlwaysHuman'' Austen has two dads, referred to by the Spanish and Irish words for "dad".
* As revealed in the final arc of ''Webcomic/AndShineHeavenNow'', [[spoiler:the boy that will grow up to be Literature/VampireHunterD, genetically, is the son of [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} Integra Hellsing and Seras Victoria]]. Note, however, D doesn't know this and believes Alucard is his father. Oh, and by the way, [[HomosexualReproduction only Integra and Seras know how this happened]] and neither is telling]].
* ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'':
** Kalki, Snadhya'rune's daughter. [[spoiler:Her father is Mel'arnach, the protagonist Ariel's biological mother, meaning that she '''' [[HomosexualReproduction has two mommies]] thanks to Jaal'darya science.]]
** Several examples in Drow society since EveryoneIsBi. It's implied that Ariel's sister Lael'aelle was raised by her mother Quain'tana and the Ill'haress of the Sullisin'rune, Ash'waren.
* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' has at least two ways this is possible:
** First, it's been explicitly stated that a woman temporarily turned into a man by the TF Gun or any of its derivatives can get another woman pregnant before the transformation wears off. Note that this only works for woman-woman pairings: A man ''can'' get pregnant while turned into a woman, but it triggers a magical chain reaction that makes the transformation permanent. (This is stated to be a failsafe to prevent MisterSeahorse BodyHorror).
** Second, Uryuom eggs will accept DNA from any combination of species and/or genders and produce a viable offspring.
** Elliot's parents think there's an argument to be made that Female-Elliot was "pregnant" with Ellen and the Dewitchery Diamond "delivered" her, making him her mother (and Tedd possibly her father). Legally, biologically and emotionally, however, Ellen's parents are Elliot's parents, although she twice calls him "Mommy" to mess with him.
* Leanne from the FurryComic Rasvaar has two mothers: one her biological mother, and the other her 'mad' ([[DontExplainTheJoke a portmanteau of mum and dad]]).
* Winter from ''Webcomic/{{Girly}}'' has [[HomosexualReproduction two biological female parents]] as described but not explained [[http://girlyyy.com/go/18 here]]. The epilogue has Winter and Otra's daughter setting out on her own adventure.
* Miranda Hutch in ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'' has [[http://www.kevinandkell.com/2016/kk1026.html two dads.]] According to the official website's unofficial FAQ, one is actually her biological uncle and the other is his husband.
* ''Webcomic/LatchkeyKingdom'': Two women each claim the other copied their baby, and demand the king resolve the situation. The new king decides to marry them... to each other. Even though both women are already married.
-->'''King:''' Two mommies! Twice as good!\\
'''Woman 1:''' My husband's not gonna like this.\\
'''Woman 2:''' [[GirlOnGirlIsHot I'm afraid mine will]].
* ''Webcomic/LilCharAndTheGang'' -- In the episode "Dad vs Dad", Pidgey boasts that his dad could beat Charmander's dad in a flying race. After being cajoled into humoring their kids, Charizard ends up winning against the Pidgeot and smugly goes back to the barbecue...until Charmander gets his attention again, points at Pidgey pushing a reluctant second Pidgeot forward, and informs him that Pidgey has ''two'' dads and he has to race the other one now.
-->'''Pidgeot:''' Come on honey, Papa already raced him, can't we do something else?\\
'''Pidgey:''' No! You have to win the race!
* ''Webcomic/MagickChicks'': Melissa has two mothers, Anastasia and Dakota, but Dakota uses a magic artifact to make everyone ''think'' she's male. [[spoiler:[[HomosexualReproduction They're her biological parents due to a fusion accident]].]] As it turns out, they decided that Melissa needed a father figure in her life, so they flipped a coin to see who would have to pretend to be male.
-->'''Anastasia:''' Of course, I cheated.\\
'''Dakota:''' ''WHAT!?''\\
'''Anastasia:''' It was a trick coin. I didn't even have to use magic. Really, what did you expect?\\
'''Dakota:''' But... ''I was girly, dammit!''
* While they did not consult each other on their pregnancies, the two leads from ''Moon Over June'' gave birth on the same day and are effectively raising their daughters together. [[MaternallyChallenged There is room to dispute whether this is a good thing]].
* ''Webcomic/NoFuture'': Lorelei. She was adopted after one of her future mothers saw her fight back against another child at the orphanage. Lorelei was worried about looking like a mud-covered mess, but she was positively [[WingdingEyes gleeful]] about her future child's fighting spirit.
* The [[SamusIsAGirl son]] of Kronar, [[HomosexualReproduction son of man]], in ''Webcomic/{{Oglaf}}''. Kronar's entire tribe has reportedly been "free of woman's taint" for generations. [[MisterSeahorse It's probably best not to think too hard about how]].
* The adopted children of Vaarsuvius and Inkyrius from ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' have two parents whose genders are both officially listed as "ambiguous". Does that count?
* [[spoiler:Berlinetta]] of ''Webcomic/OtherPeoplesBusiness'' [[spoiler:has two daddies]].
* Wren from ''Webcomic/PebbleAndWren'' has two ''daddies'', Donald and Phil.
* Secondary character [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2012/04/26 Yvette]] in ''Webcomic/{{Precocious}}''. As explained by [[WordOfGod Chrispy]] Eva is her biological mother and Candy's brother was the sperm donor.
* Referenced in ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent''. Marten's divorced dad remarries, this time to a man, to which Marten's response is [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2399 "Fuck yeah, two dads!"]] When he and his stepfather were debating how they should refer to each other, Marten decided to call Maurice, [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1522 "Dad Two: Dad Harder."]]
** And then Marten's mother started dating Jim from The Secret Bakery. Marten's reaction to the prospect of them marrying? "Three dads!"
* ''WebComic/{{Shortpacked}}'' -- Leslie and Robin -- thanks to some Comic Book Science admittedly "inspired" by WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague and WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond -- are the biological parents of triplet girls.
* ''Webcomic/SplitScreen'': Jan and her sister were raised by her mother and her "other mother", Nancy.
* Pluto from ''Webcomic/StarGuys'' has two mothers. Apparently making Pluto was "a long and expensive process".
* ''Webcomic/{{Terinu}}'' is... complicated. It's quite possible to argue that he has ''four'' "moms". His biological mother ([[spoiler:implied as dead in a flashback]]), Melika, the vulpine woman who raised him from ages three to nine and whom he has the closest relationship with, Mavra Chan the AxCrazy {{Space Pirate|s}} who raised him to her personal assassin from nine to fifteen, and finally Leeza, who not only has actual legal guardianship of him, she's also his [[spoiler:Master, since he's mentally imprinted to obey her every order]]. Currently, only Leeza and Melika are likely to work together to raise him, however.
* ''Webcomic/TouhouNekokayou'' has Marisa and Alice's two daughters, Shanghai Margatroid and Carroll Kirisame (complete with ''Heather Has Two Mommies'' [[http://dizzy.pestermom.com/?p=thcomic83 reference]]). The former was "born" after Alice and Marisa finally figured out how to create an independent doll and applied it to Alice's Shanghai doll. [[spoiler:That "birth" takes place in CSA's ending.]] The latter, meanwhile, was the result of magical HomosexualReproduction, the exact details of which remain a [[NoodleIncident secret]].
* ''Webcomic/UnknownLands'': One Dark Elves victim's last action before being dragged to her death is to hand Keilo her baby. By the time Marya has rescued Keilo her bubbly wife has cheerfully adopted the infant as theirs. The timing is bad since Marya had just made an oath that will keep her busy for a year.

[[folder:Web Original]]
* The Spanish edutainment music video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdDu8pFbnRc ¡Buenos días! Song to learn Spanish greetings and daily routines]]" has an animation featuring a little girl with two mothers.
* The Season 2 finale of ''WebAnimation/CampCamp'' reveals that [[PassionateSportsGirl Ered]], one of the campers, is the adopted daughter of a male married couple of ''[[ActionDad FBI Agents]]''.
* In WebVideo/CodeMENT, Kallen takes this trope to its logical extreme. She thinks that "dad" is a made-up word, and when asked where she thinks babies come from, she starts with "When a woman and another woman..."
** [[TheDitz Suzaku]] seems to think he's got this as well, as, at one point, he mentions that both his moms are dead. However, it's been established by other characters that this is not the case.
* In ''WebVideo/CryptTV'' comic, "Lexi's Vengeance", Eric is a young boy with two moms. It's unclear whether he's adopted or if his moms are simply bisexual, but it earns him no end of derision from his peers who mock him for not having a dad. Eric doesn't see the problem with his parentage and loves his moms right back.
* ''Website/TheHardTimes'': "[[https://thehardtimes.net/blog/find-statistically-unlikely-dads-gay/ I Find it Statistically Unlikely that Both My Dads Are Gay]]". The author of the piece is shocked and surprised that the two men who raised him together are in fact gay and in a loving romantic and sexual relationship with each other. The punchline indicates that he also has two moms.
* The {{Creepypasta}} ''WebOriginal/MommySleepsInTheBasement'' has a much darker variation of this. Paisley says she has two mothers: [[GoodStepmother Betty]], who she calls "Mom", and Claire, who she calls "Mommy" (the latter is her biological mother). Her teacher Mrs June assumes that her family are polygamist Mormons, [[TruthInTelevision which isn't unheard of in Utah (the story’s setting) despite the illegality]]. [[spoiler:The truth is [[BunkerWoman much]], ''[[ChildByRape much]]'' worse]].
* Agents Trojanhorse and Paddlebrains of the WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum are both women (technically -- Pads is a redhaired chainsmoking [[GenderBender female copy]] of [[Franchise/HarryPotter Sirius Black]] -- don't ask). They have three adopted children; two sons from [[MisterSeahorse mpreg]] fanfics, and a daughter who is a Triceratops. ItMakesSenseInContext. Many of the other adopted kids in the PPC would also fit.
* The Mother's Day PSA from ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'': "You only have one mother. Unless you are from a progressive home like Donut." How serious this can be taken is debatable due to the out-of-canon nature of the [=PSAs=].
* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'':
** Yang Xiao Long was raised by and identifies as the daughter of Summer Rose, but she still refers to Raven Branwen (her birth mother) as her mother.
** Adrian Cotta-Arc (Jaune's infant nephew via one of his older sisters) is the son of a lesbian couple. Whether he is adopted or the biological child of one of them is unknown.

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', Neptr (Never-Ending Pie-Throwing Robot) is assembled by [[TheHero Finn]] and then energized to full functionality by [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Ice King]], in the process absorbing some of his "private [[StealthPun particles]]" and personality traits. He considers them both his fathers and calls Finn "Creator" and Ice King "Papi." Unfortunately, after the first episode both are [[ParentalNeglect kind of]] [[DisappearedDad deadbeats]], forgetting about his existence for months at a time, and Neptr becomes something of a low-key WellDoneSonGuy.
** [[spoiler:Biologically, Jake was spawned from the DNA of his dog father Joshua and an alien named Warren Ampersand]].
* The infamous ''WesternAnimation/AllenGregory'' has the title character raised by his biological father Richard and his life partner Jeremy, who Allen occasionally refers to as his "step-mom". The creepy part is that Jeremy is actually a straight man who once had a loving family until [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe Richard harassed and stalked him to the point where he finally gave in]] so he can leave his family alone.
* ''WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp'' had an episode in which the kids were paired off in mock marriages and given an assignment to plan a wedding, start a home, and have children. The drawing for the pairs, however, was gender-neutral, pairing Chuckie with silent jock Fridge, and Angelica with long-time rival Susie. [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight No one makes a peep]] the entire episode about the suggestion that main characters were in simulated gay relationships.
* In ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', gay couple Greg and Terry have a surrogate daughter, [[MeaningfulName Liberty (Libby) Belle]]. Stan's wife Francine was the surrogate mother, which Stan was very unhappy about, until the end of the episode when he realizes gay couples can have children and be just as happy and gives her the name Liberty.
* ''Buddy G, My Two Moms and Me'' has, well, take a wild guess. It's about a boy and his two mothers.
* ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'': Hollyhock was adopted and raised by [[ExaggeratedTrope eight men in a polyamorous marriage]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TheBoysDiabolical'': In "An Animated Short Where Pissed-Off Supes Kill Their Parents", Kingdom is shown to have two fathers when it is his turn to become a SelfMadeOrphan.
* Alluded to in ''WesternAnimation/CampLakebottom'':
-->'''[=McGee=]:''' Buttsquat, get out of the water!\\
'''Buttsquat:''' What are you, my moms?
* Jeff from ''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}'' is shown to have two moms in "Jeff Wins". They've appeared several times afterwards.
* Akila in ''WesternAnimation/CleopatraInSpace'' has two moms.
* In the 2019 reboot of ''WesternAnimation/CliffordTheBigRedDog'', Samantha Mulberry has two moms. Like with the ''Postcards from Buster'' example, this (along with an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' depicting a gay wedding and Billy Porter wearing a dress on ''Series/SesameStreet'') caused outrage from evangelical HeteronormativeCrusader groups, calling for the show to be banned and for PBS to be defunded.
* JFK's adoptive parents in ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'' were a gay couple. He usually calls them "gay dads", but only in one episode, when he was doubting his sexuality, thanks to WholesomeCrossdresser Joan, he decides to join them in watching ''Series/WillAndGrace''. He describes them as being like "''Series/MyTwoDads'', but more gay".
* The finale to ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' shows that in the future Lindy and Alison will adopt several kids and live on a farm together one day.
* ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'': Darkwing and Launchpad take on the identity of Goslyn's ([[HeterosexualLifePartners non-homosexual]]) [[PlatonicCoParenting two-daddy family]].
* Jessica Cruz, AKA Green Lantern, in ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls'' has two mothers.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Detentionaire}}'' has another example where students are given the assignment to raise fake babies.

When the teacher asks who they are, she replies they're her mom, her dad, her other dad, ''[[ExaggeratedTrope and one of the dad's boyfriends]]''. She not only has two daddies, she also has a mom. WordOfGod states that, excluding the "dad's boyfriend" part, this is a metaphor on how the show creators are two men and a woman, with said woman being Funérea's voice actress and the lead writer.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' has an episode in which Bender fosters "twelve baby humans" (for the money). Fry seems to be mostly along for the ride because he's Bender's roommate, but Bender does call him 'Ma' at one point and he sulks about wanting new kitchen cabinets. [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots Bender himself]] refers to both the factory arm that assembled him and [[EvilMatriarch the head of the robot company that distributed him]] as his "mom."

* Leia from ''WesternAnimation/{{Oswaldo}}'' has two mothers.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'':
** Willow is revealed in the episode "Understanding Willow" to have two fathers, later revealed to be named Gilbert and Harvey Park.

** Implied with Boscha. "Them's The Breaks, Kids", a WholeEpisodeFlashback to Eda's schooldays, has a pair of {{Recurring Extra}}s that seem to be close, one with three eyes and pink hair, and one with red hair and grey eyes.

** One episode featured the eponymous duo raising a child created from their combined DNA thanks to a malfunction in Brain's cloning machine. The name of said episode, "[[Recap/PinkyAndTheBrainS2E11 Brinky]]", even functions as a decent PortmanteauCoupleName.
** Another episode had them in Kansas stumbling upon an alien spacecraft containing a [[Franchise/{{Superman}} baby with mysterious powers]]. Intrigued by the baby's abilities, Brain tried to raise him with Pinky; obviously, it didn't work out. In the end, Pinky and the Brain put him back in the ship so that a childless couple could find him...

* An episode of the combination animated/live-action PBS series ''WesternAnimation/PostcardsFromBuster'' (an ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' spinoff) had Buster visiting with a live-action real girl, who said she had "two moms". No more was said about her parents but the more conservative faction of PowersThatBe decided that was promoting the "gay agenda", the episode was yanked and used as an example of why all PBS funding should be immediately rescinded. (And it wasn't like this was James Dobson raising a hissy-fit. No, the ''Secretary of Education'' was behind all this, and even tried to get all funding pulled for ''Postcards From Buster''.)
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'':
** Mojo Jojo created the [[ThePsychoRangers Rowdyruff Boys]] in an attempt to destroy the girls. Instead, it was the boys who got destroyed. Years later, HIM resurrected the boys and improved upon them. This came to a head in the episode "Custody Battle", where Mojo discovers that the Rowdyruffs were brought back, tries to take back his place as their father (the day happens to be Father's Day, by the way), and he and HIM end up trying to [[EvilerThanThou out-evil each other]]. The boys have enough of this and announce that they only care about destroying the Powerpuff Girls, causing Mojo and HIM to [[HoYay embrace]] and exclaim, "I'm so proud of them!"

** The episode [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Stimpy's Pregnant"]] of ''[[WesternAnimation/RenAndStimpyAdultPartyCartoon Adult Party Cartoon]]''. The biological impossibility of Ren impregnating Stimpy is never mentioned or discussed. Right before the delivery, Ren says "Any minute now, we'll be mommy and daddy". [[spoiler:It turns out Stimpy was not actually pregnant, just constipated. But neither of the "parents" finds out about this -- the excrement is treated like a child, though obviously, [[NegativeContinuity there's no trace of it in later episodes]]).]]
* The fourth season finale of ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' reveals that Rick did, in fact, clone his daughter Beth in the previous season as had been hinted, with one of the two going out in space to have her own adventures while the other stayed on Earth with him, her husband, and the kids. Nobody, not even Rick, knows which version of Beth is the original and which is the clone, but Morty and Summer make it pretty clear that they don't ''care'', and just think it's cool that they have "two kickass moms" in addition to their dad. All subsequent episodes see them refer to both versions of Beth as "Mom", or "Moms" when talking to both of them, and both Beths consider them their kids.
* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'':
** Bow has two dads named Lance and George. in the episode where Bow's dads are introduced, there's not any emphasis on the fact that they're two gay men in a loving relationship. Rather, Bow entangles Adora and Glimmer in a FawltyTowersPlot to try and hide the fact that Bow is fighting with the Rebellion.
** Scorpia has a picture on her dresser of two scorpionfolk women holding a baby scorpionfolk girl. Presumably these are her mothers, though we never see them in person, and it's most likely that they're dead.
* Ling Bouvier in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' is the adopted daughter of Selma Bouvier, who shares an apartment with her twin sister Patty.
* ''WesternAnimation/SolarOpposites'': Jesse and Yumulack are the “replicant” children of Terry and Korvo.

* The episode of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' "Follow That Egg", where Stan and Kyle, and Wendy and Bebe, have to take care of an egg to prove Mrs. Garrison's point that gay couples can't raise children.

* On ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick adopt a baby scallop.

In the end, the scallop "flies" away, but Patrick suggests "Let's have another".
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': Steven has his dad, but he lives with the three Crystal Gems and is largely cared for by them. They even have different parenting styles, with [[TheHedonist Amethyst]] being permissive, [[MyBelovedSmother Pearl]] being restrictive, and [[GentleGiant Garnet]] having a balanced approach. The episode "Fusion Cuisine" really explores [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything the implications of this]]. Steven's friend Connie is nervous about introducing his family to her parents because they're very traditional and she's afraid they won't accept her hanging out with a non-nuclear family. To try and fool them, the three Crystal Gems agree to temporarily [[FusionDance fuse]] into a single being to pose as Steven's mom.
* The ghost in "Ghost the Boy" from ''WesternAnimation/SummerCampIsland'' has two ghost fathers.
* ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'' has inept, [[TestosteronePoisoning overly macho]] [[TimePolice time cop]] Buck Tuddrussell and his vitriolic, ambiguously CampGay robot buddy The Larry 3000 taking in an orphaned history buff who was living in an OrphanageOfFear. It didn't start out as a Has Two Daddies situation until Sigmund Freud analyzed Tuddrussell and Larry as a dysfunctional couple whose fighting will mentally and emotionally scar Otto for life on the third episode ("The Island of Dr. Freud"). From then on, the writers did everything they could to imply that the living arrangement could be construed as a "Has Two Daddies" situation.
* The ending of the ''WesternAnimation/{{TOTS}}'' episode "Seas The Day" reveals that Donny the dolphin, who Pip and Freddy were delivering, has two mothers. They're not directly referred to as such, but the captioning calls them "dolphin mom 1" and "dolphin mom 2".
* In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' [[spoiler:Isaac Sumdac]] is captured by Megatron and his company is taken over by [[spoiler:Porter C. Powell]]. The latter kicks [[spoiler:Sari]] out, so she ends up living with the Autobots, effectively having ''five robot daddies'' (though Prowl, Bumblebee, and Bulkhead are more like older brothers and Ratchet is more of a grandpa). Biologically speaking, [[MissingMom this is entirely possible also]], being that she's [[spoiler:at ''least'' half-Cybertronian, depending on who makes protoforms, and how many, she may have two biological daddies as well, counting Isaac]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'': Because it is a {{Parody}} of ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest'', Brock and Rusty also raise a pair of teenage boys (though neither of them comes anywhere close to good parent material).
* ''WesternAnimation/WorkItOutWombats'': Louisa has two mothers, Leiko and Duffy. She was adopted by them when she was born.
* In the background of some episodes of ''WesternAnimation/XavierRiddleAndTheSecretMuseum'', [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/xavier-riddle-and-the-secret-museum/images/b/b1/Oh%2C_hey%2C_it%27s_the_kid_with_the_lesbian_moms%21_Get_rekt%2C_One_million_moms%21.png/revision/latest?cb=20200122145532 you can see a kid with two moms]]. Luckily, this didn't cause outrage from right-wing groups like the examples above.

* The concept of homosexual couples raising children is nothing new. Usually, the child will either be adopted or related to one of the parents through various means of artificial reproduction and/or surrogacy.
** Additionally, a parent who produces children the usual way may later separate from their partner and form a same-sex relationship afterwards. If the child is still dependent at this time and custody is granted primarily to the first parent, it is likely that the child will have two same-sex parents from this new relationship. In some countries the non-biological parent may also be permitted to co-adopt the child, giving both parents equal custody rights and legally designating both partners as the child's parents and legal guardians.
** Sometimes, they'll have it so that either the children will be biologically related to both parents. This is easy enough if one partner is cisgender and the other is UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} (Kris and Caitlyn Jenner being a famous example of such a couple), but if both are cis or trans, then they have to get creative with this.
* There are [[http://www.nytimes.com/2004/02/07/arts/love-that-dare-not-squeak-its-name.html several]] [[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8081829.stm examples]] of penguins of the same sex forming pairs and building nests. Sometimes they will steal an egg to raise, but other times a zookeeper will give them an egg another pair of penguin parents cannot raise.
* Taken to an extreme with seagulls: some populations only have lesbian couples ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcrjb-b9oPg that song]] didn't come from nowhere), with most of the female birds only mating once or twice in their entire lifetime with males in order to lay fertile eggs.
* Domestic geese have a strong mothering instinct, and it’s a fairly common thing for an expecting goose mother to be joined by a second female who doesn’t have her own clutch of eggs, and they will both sit together on the nest to hatch the goslings.
* Lionesses in a pride all raise cubs as an egalitarian community: every lioness treats each cub as a mother would.
* There is a PBS documentary about two female arctic wolves that raised pups together. The adopted mother was even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcTsWXOZMzQ filmed defending the pups]] from a hostile intruder by blocking the entrance of their den with her body. The pups thrived because both wolves nursed them, but sadly one of the she-wolves passed away from an illness.
* The famous female Crow Chief, [[MeaningfulName Woman Chief]] (born Pine Leaf of the Gros Ventre and abducted by a Crow raiding party as a child), had children with one of her four wives through surrogate fatherhood. According to their culture, the first one who sleeps with a woman who gets pregnant is officially the father. Using this, Woman Chief went through the preliminary motions and got a male volunteer to take over for the rest.

* LGBT rights activist Zach Wahls, whose testimony to the Iowa State Legislature on same-sex marriage regarding his two mothers resulted in a very popular viral video.
* Villages and small communities with children probably fit in this category. Instead of it just being the parents' job of providing and caring for a child, it is also the job of the rest of the village to help care for them.
* OlderThanRadio: Owing to complicated political maneuvering, the young [[UsefulNotes/DynastiesFromShangToQing Guangxu Emperor]] had "mother" Ci'an and "father" [[DragonLady Cixi]]. Both women had been wives of a previous emperor and were combining their Dowager Empress powers to rule together.

** Music/EltonJohn has had a son with his husband via surrogate. This caused some controversy when a supermarket used the "family shield" to "[[MoralGuardians protect young shoppers]]" from seeing [[http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2011/01/magazine-cover-with-elton-johns-baby-too-controversial-arkansas Elton, his husband, and their baby]] on a magazine cover. The supermarket eventually removed the shield after receiving complaints. They had a second son later.
** Creator/MattBomer and his husband Simon Halls have three sons: Walker, Kit, and Henry.
** Creator/SeanMaher and his partner adopted two children.
* [[http://www.aljazeera.com/news/europe/2013/06/2013628161558706499.html Three-person IVF treatment:]] The baby has another mother, the woman who is the source of his mitochondria. Useful for women who have a serious risk of having a baby with defective mitochondria.
* Creator/SeanAstin is the son of Creator/PattyDuke and Michael Tell, but Patty's other boyfriends and husbands over the years, Desi Arnaz Jr., Creator/JohnAstin (who adopted Sean), and Michael Pierce also helped raise him. Sean is close to all four men and considers them all his dads.
* Creator/RobMcElhenney's parents divorced after his mother came out as a lesbian. [[AmicableExes The couple remained on good terms]] and Rob and his siblings split their time between living with his father and his mother and her partner.
* Creator/LivTyler is the biological daughter of [[Music/{{Aerosmith}} Steven Tyler]], but lived her early life assuming that Music/ToddRundgren was her father. She developed a close relationship with Steven after the truth was told, but she also remains close to her adoptive/legal father Rundgren, even keeping his last name as her middle name.
* Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin was raised by her mother and her female partner after her parents got divorced.

* ''Literature/ThatIrresistiblePoison'' by AlessandraHazard: Prince Seyn and his siblings were raised by Queen Janesh and her wife.

* ''Jenny Lives with Eric and Martin'' (originally ''Mette bor hos Morten og Erik'') by Suzanne Bösche was an originally-Danish early-1980s children's book about a little girl being brought up by her father and his male partner. The revelation that a London school had a copy in its library caused outrage from [[UsefulNotes/BritishNewspapers the Daily Mail]] that played a major role in driving the creation of the notorious homophobic law known as "Clause 28", which banned "promotion" of homosexuality in schools and was repealed in 2003.
* In ''King & King & Family'', the sequel to ''King & King'' (a Dutch book that caused a lawsuit because some ass didn't like that "romantic attraction between two men is being presented to my 7-year-old as wonderful, and good and the way things should be"), the newlywed kings "find a lonely orphaned girl, whom they adopt and raise as a princess".

* In Creator/WenSpencer's ''Literature/UkiahOregon'' series the main character, Ukiah Oregon, is a former feral child raised with his [[HomosexualReproduction sister]] Callie by a lesbian couple.
** Wen Spencer also wrote ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'', which takes place in a world where males are so rare that they marry every sister in a family, and no one ever speaks of just "mother", always "mothers". Men get the brunt of childcare duties, but as they are rather fragile, if a husband dies without leaving an old enough son it's left to the mothers to raise the children.

* ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'': Maedhros and Maglor are brothers. They kidnap, adopt and raise Elrond and Elros... and proceed to apparently do a better job of raising their ill-gotten children than 90% of the parents in the book (including their own parents). While the BigBad is running amok on the continent no less.

* The infamous ''WesternAnimation/AllenGregory'' has the title character raised by his biological father Richard and his life partner Jeremy, who Allen occasionally refers to as his "step-mom". The creepy part is that Jeremy is actually a straight man who once had a loving family until Richard harassed and stalked him to the point where he finally gave in so he can leave his family alone.

* There's a scene in ''LightNovel/ALilyBloomsInAnotherWorld'' where Miyako is confused when [[spoiler:Aisha suddenly proclaims that "Mama's home" when Shan Li, her mother, is already in the room.

Seeing two women having a happy family together inspires Miyako to not give up and decide to go after Fuuka.]]
