nephilim - the offspring between human and angels. we call them that because some of the others have managed to reproduce with their human companions, but the offspring never get all the anatomy that drives humans to call the aliens angels - some go crazy and get surgical implants of feather buds hoping to grow wings when the carpenter-surgeons are done with them...

This is a great story idea - how would you like to be that child? Hmm... an event in the girl's life from her POV, maybe the first rejection by a boy who she cares about and all the conflicting stuff around that, including the lesbian parent angle...

"Just when you thought the human race couldn't get any more bizarre, a lesbian couple is pleased to admit they have created the world's first designer handicapped baby. A deaf lesbian couple in their mid-thirties wanted to experience the joys of motherhood, so they consulted their local sperm bank. Only they were looking for a very specific donor trait: the same inherited hearing disability they both had. They wanted their child to be deaf. Sperm bank officials told the couple, Sharon Duchesneau and Candace McCullough, that congenital hearing loss immediately disqualifies donors. The couple, who belong to an extremist group that believes deafness is not a handicap but a "cultural identity", turned to a deaf friend to donate. Sharon became pregnant and the couple gave birth to a deaf daughter, now five years old. They were so pleased that they had another child, a boy, but he is completely deaf in only one ear. Children's rights groups are appalled, and the conservative Family Research Council said their decision to "intentionally give a child a disability" was 'incredibly selfish'."
