German term or phrase: der Teil von beiden ist
Titel einer Brochure:

"Kinderwunsch:Eine Frage von Körper und Seele

Das „Ja“ zu einem gemeinsamen Kind ist ein klarer Ausdruck von tiefer Zuneigung und Vertrauen zwischen zwei Menschen. Das „Ja“ bedeutet auch, dass beide Verantwortung übernehmen wollen für einen neuen Menschen, der Teil von beiden ist."

Looking for an elegant formulation...Thanks!

disagree  Cilian O'Tuama: a new person that is a part of each other? // must change from neutral to disagree, severe rephrasing needed to make this work, IMO.

neutral  Bernhard Sulzer: same "gramm." qu. as C. Maybe: ..of each of them (but "each" doesn't expr. their union as well, IMO) // your quote uses "we have become a part of each other" - that's diff. Here it would be "who is a part of each other" - doesn't gel.
