I think what the OP would have to do is write a UNION, that is:

s.query(Child1).filter(Child1.thing == "thing").union(
   s.query(Child2).filter(Child2.thing == "thing")
)

that's how this problem is approached in SQL.    With SQLAlchemy, any problem 
should be solved by considering the desired structure in SQL first.
