:) Gay dads were included in a four part series 'forever family' part 2. The experience of sharing our story was amazing...and emotional. Our 2 yr and 4 yr old could not have been more thrilled to see themselves on television. We hope that hearing our words and those of their biological mother about how our family came to be will be conforting to our children as they are older and more questioning. The experience was one of also representing our community...hoping that the message that "non traditional" families are realy special and also just very "normal"! Cheyenne came to us as an emergency placement through foster care. That amazing experience led to the reliquishing of parental rights and then an adoption. The birth mother when discovering that she was pregnant again found us and choose us to adopt directly at birth. These stories do exist! We realy feel a need to tell our story hoping it is heard...and others in foster care are found by seeking to be parents. We just feel very blessed.
