This chapter explores the intersections and overlaps between accounts of humans raising non-human animals as kin, and accounts of heterosexual human couples planning for a first child. Our central claim in this chapter is that human relationships with other animals often serve primarily to tell us more about humans than they tell us anything about non-human animal ways of being. Importantly, our claim here is not to dismiss cross-species kinship outright, nor is it to deny the fact of non-human animal personhood. Rather, it is to emphasize the operations of human exceptionalism. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
