Sarah and Suyin Lael

CONTACT:

Sarah, 44, and Suyin, 47, Lael, of Dayton, have been together for 16 years and are raising three girls: nine-year-old Zenzali, seven-year-old Tanaj and six-year-old Danica. As mothers of young children, marriage would secure a host of protections for their family, covering the day-to-day concerns like signing school permission slips as well as critical situations like medical emergencies where being respected automatically as the child’s parent is vital.
