Two Dads

Here’s a story about a little boy who, when he was just a lad was blessed to have the good fortune to be adopted by two dads. He was malnourished…this little boy…his bedroom was a drawer… The two dads like to think his parents loved him…but they loved their heroine more. Many a heterosexual couple was asked to help… but having reservations and these appeals were dismissed…. so they turned to these two men…a couple…who were happy to assist. They weren’t looking for a child…but…understanding what it’s like to be ostracized whatever plans in life they had…they immediately revised. They ended up adopting their son…to the task at hand they were undaunted… Since then they’ve adopted two more children who were abandoned…or unwanted. It’s been 26 years since they adopted their son…since the stars in their life aligned… The children who changed their life are all grown up now…grown up and doing fine. Proof that good parents will be good parents…and bad parents will be bad… and how a family can thrive as a family with the love and compassion of two dads. These children changed their two dads lives…forever… changed it in mid-stream… In return these two dads gave their three children… a chance… to live… and dream.
